I just installed cups-pdf, so I can print pretty PDFs, on my workstation, sadly it did not work quite out of the box. Ubuntu forums yeilds the answer. The following command can be used to install cups-pdf and then enable it, you can then install it as a detected printer from the Gnome printer control.
$ sudo apt-get install cups-pdf & sudo chmod u+s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
