Saving pages From Broswer for Printing them Later

[gary4gar]

Many Times during My Online activity I am required to take print out of some document such as application forms,receipts, Railways & air tickets etc etc.

But since i do not have a Printer, i would like to save them in exact forum(preferably PDF) so i could print them later on some other computer which has a printer.


Presently i copy & paste but this does not work always, as sometimes custom formatting like tab spaces etc are disturbed.


So Please Help.
Using Firefox + Ubuntu

Try print to file and use postscript printer. That should output a PDF, I believe.

[gary4gar]

Wrong, I tried it. the output is not reable on windows xp machine
Anyways i Got the solution Myself after a bit of struggle

System>Administration>Printing
I added a New virtual Printer cups-pdf:/


Now i can print, a New Dir named PDF is created in my HOME automatically, and all printed filed can be found there

pretty easy.

Mehul, Thanks for Your help

Since you require the pages only for printing, you can try the Firefox add-on 'Screengrab' which saves the current page in PNG format. With screengrap you have the option to save

1. Complete page
2. Visible portion
3. Custom selection from the visible portion

I'm using bullzip printer, and it works very fine.

There no need of it, there is a easier way out. which is cups-pdf.
Try that, i can post step by step & detailed tutorial for it, if you want. but i think its easy enough, so you wont need any

Use ghostscript + CutePDF

@gary4gar, you have one more option for this -

print the thing to a file (.ps),,

then run the command ps2pdf.

see its man page for more info
