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"
