Bug Description
Printing to PDF currently defaults to saving the document in the user's home folder. A more appropriate place would be into the user's documents folder.
To reproduce:
1. Open a program that can print. In this example, we will use Firefox.
2. Navigate to any page.
3. Navigate to File -> Print and select Print.
4. Select Print to File.
5. Observe that the default folder is the home folder.

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug. After some discussion on IRC we agree that it would be better if CUPS would 'print' files to $XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR instead of $HOME. I'm accepting this as a paper cut.
