Emacs just use whatever whatever is the default printer on the system, usually. You could check cups web interface or lpoptions. In particular, try setting the printer to cups-pdf or similar. It will save pdfs to /var/spool/cups-pdf (at least on my system). I usually use some kind of ps-printing because it is nicer. Btw: there are some scripts that saves automatically as pdfs via ps-buffer (save to file) → ps to pdf. This is not very organized, but I hope it might help. –Rasmus -- And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue
