print to PDF in mozilla



I have tried to install a virtual PDF printer in cups and it gets listed
as postscript/pdfwriter (pdfwriter is the name I gave it) in Mozilla
print dialog.

I can print a web page to a PDF file by selecting that printer (and by
NOT asking it to print to file). But that PDF file is named generically
and is put in to ~/PDF directory.

Any idea how change this behavior? Specifying the PDF file would be
ideal. I tried to select the PDF printer and selected 'print to file'
but that prints a PS file.

I have (Debian Etch running 2.6.15 kernel):
