Wow, you're right!  I didn't realize this capability was already there 
without cups-pdf.  Without cups-pdf, my System: Printers utility only 
shows my Laserjet, but I see that in a Print dialog with a file open, 
"Print to file" is present and PDF is an output option.

(But it may be that cups-pdf actually was working.  It seems to have 
been silently saving output to ~/PDF.)
