Hi Patton,

As I recall this function was set up by default in earlier versions of
Ubuntu, but for whatever reason was removed in Feisty. However, you can
install the cups-pdf package. If you then try to add a printer from
Administration/Printers, you'll see an option to install a virtual PDF
printer. Select Generic, Postscript-Color, and you're flying.

Hope this helps.

Darryl
