Print web page to pdf under Gnome


Hello, I'm using slackware 10.1 and Dropline Gnome 2.10 , and i would like to Know how can I print a web page (Firefox or Epiphany) to a pdf file. I used to do this using Kprint command which is great , but I canīt find any application in gnome who can handle this task (which is extremely important to me).

In debian I tried a package called Cups-pdf and It worked great in XFCE4, but I can`t find any slackware version of this application.

Does anyone know how to print a web page to a pdf file under gnome?, any help appreciated.

David

You can always print a file to a postscript (ps) file. Just open this file with /usr/bin/ps2pdf (available as part of the ghostscript package).

Note that the PDF file will be created in the directory you run ps2pdf from, usually your home directory if you run from the GUI.

nice app

Thank you very much. This app called ps2pdf is quite effective , I love using the console so it's nice to know this option, it works with no problems at all. It would be nice to find a gui frontend for it.

Problem solved!!!
Muchas gracias!!!
Viva Linux!!
