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.

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:
