The Story

At the end of last year, my friends and I were tasked to read our staff card.

2. Go to http://localhost:631.

5. In the Add Printer page, put a name for your virtual PDF printe, any name will do. Then click Continue.

6. For the Device for a, you should select CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Driver). If it’s not there, then you haven’t executed Step 1 successfully.
