Also, most all-in-one printers have a USB port for printing PDFs from a flash drive or scanning images/documents to it. However, do not expect this to work for everything. Setup ----- Install the package 'printer-driver-cups-pdf' and reboot. After login, run your system's printer setup program. For example, this would be "Printer Settings" on an XFCE desktop environment. When you "Add" a printer, select the "Generic CUPS-PDF" option; you can keep everything as the default values. HOWEVER, you may want to change the "PDF printing" location as the default is "~/PDF". You can do this by editing a file like so... sudo nano /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf ...and change the line that says "Out ${HOME}/PDF" to where you want the output of the PDFs to be.
