Very nice and convenient, but it doesn't do it.The cups-pdf pacakge will allow you to print to PDF from OO and other software that obeys CUPS configurations. PS is also a usual option.
Wouldn't cups be overkill? I suspect that I would still need xprintf to print from Firefox and Thunderbird, although I'd be happy to find out I'm wrong.
Hopefully the PDF produced will be a good rendering of the actual page I wanted to print, and I have heard that the quality of rendering can vary from package to package.
I'll see if I can set it up now. thanks for the tip Adam
