HOWTO: Print to a pdf in Firefox

Recently I wanted to print a web page to a pdf file. As I am using Firefox as my default web browser in Kubuntu this does not work out of the box like in Konqueror. Following steps are necessary to print from Firefox with kprinter (which is able to print to a pdf):

  • Type about:config in the adress bar of Firefox
  • In the filter bar type: print.printer_PostScript/Default.print_command
  • Double click on the entry and enter the following value in the popup box: kprinter --stdin

From now on you will get the KPrinter dialog and be able to print to pdf, postscript, etc, and of course to the real printers.
