OK, that worked for me. Based on your results, I just changed it on my 
default printer and it now defaults to .pdf

Sailing, must be nice.  Actually it got up to 70 here in Ill and I am 
starting to think about fishing.

The same thing works for Seamonkey, I just did it.  I almost had it 
awhile ago. in Seamonkey there is a 
print.printer_Print_to_File.print_to_filename  = /home/jfb/.ps which I 
tried changing but it did no good.  I somehow overlooked the 
/home/jfb/mozilla.ps entry.

Because I was curious I changed my default printer and shutdown 
Seamonkey.  Restarted Seamonkey and the .pdf default stuck so you can 
change your default printer and not mess up the setting.

Thanks for your help.
