I have wanted to be able to print a web page to a multipage pdf file. I
know if I have a document open in Open Office, I can directly generate a
PDF, but I have been unable to find a way to do so from Firefox. Anyone
have any insights they'd care to share?

Description: PDF printer for CUPS
CUPS-PDF provides a PDF Writer backend to CUPS. This can be used as a
virtual printer in a paperless network or to perform testing on CUPS.
.
Documents are written to a configurable directory (by default to ~/PDF)
or can be further manipulated by a post-processing command.
