Bug Description
I just installed Dapper with the latest updates 27.02.2005 when I tried to convert a ps-document to a pdf document via the gnome-printer dialog (called by Evince) I got an error message:
Generating PDF is not supported
Since creating a .pdf form a .ps document is quite standard I guess that in principle it is possible to print the ps as pdf out of evince using the print-dialog.
I am not sure if I have to install another package to make printing in pdf work.
I suggest:
Either installing the necessary packages by default
or
Changing the error text to something like:
To enable the generation of .pdf the package xyz has to be installed
I am aware that there are different bugs in pdf-creating via gnome-printing for now - if you have disabled pdf creating for that reason than consider this bug-report as non-relevant.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gnome-print'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
