See

From the readme:
"Nino's Virtual Printers is a Cups backend that allow creation of ps and pdf
virtual printers. This approach it is particularly useful if you want to

unix command line. Pdf printer will be available only if ESP Ghostscript has
been installed. ESP Ghostscript can be found at
(<
http://sourceforge.net/projects/espgs/>)"
