Print to PDF

[Art Alexion]

Much easier than that. 

   1. In Firefox print dialog, chose "Print to file"
   2. Give it an easy name (like "print.ps") in your home directory.
   3. In a terminal, go to your home directory (cd <enter>) and type
      "ps2pdf print.ps".
   4. When the prompt returns, you will have a pdf that you can mail
      called print.pdf.

I use the same file name so as to continually overwrite it and avoid 
accumulating a lot of obsolete ps/pdf pairs in my home directory.  If 
you want to keep it, just "mv print.pdf Documents/saved_meaningful_name.pdf"
