Printing to CUPS-PDF from Iceweasel

Since I searched the Debian-user archives first and didn't find this, 
I thought I would put it here after finding it in the Ubuntu forums.

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-38492.html

To print to PDF from Iceweasel, open the print dialog and select the 
default/postscript printer, select "properties", and change the 
command from "lpr..." to "kprinter...". It's a persistant change, so 
it should only have to be done once.

This will cause the kprinter dialog to run you select "print", and the 
CUPS-PDF printer becomes easily available along with faxing, remote 
printers, the works.

A friend of mine has no printer, and has been very frustrated because 
he prefers to use Iceweasel (after I set up Debian for him on his new 
laptop, he did NOT want Vista!) rather than Konqueror, and until just 
a few minutes ago I couldn't figure out how to give him reliable 
access the CUPS-PDF pseudo printer.

Ok, folks, there it is. Just a few tags for those searching in the 
future:
