$ sudo apt-get install cups-pdf

Set up as a PDF printer & then print to PDF. That way you save the info
& don't waste paper.

Just be aware that unless you are running 12.10 or above, poppler-utils
have not been updated to 0.20.x, so evince, okular, et al that use
poppler will not render PDF's that are readable by acroread, acrobat,
foxit reader & similar.
