Bug Description
To implement the Blueprint "PDF as standard print job format"
https:/
applications need to output PDF instead of PostScript when printing.
GTK applications still output PostScript. This can be changed by applying a simple patch which is attached.
This makes for example GEdit and GIMP (built-in standard dialog) sending PDF to CUPS.
Other programs, like evince and Firefox still send PostScript. Here there are probably similar patches needed in the applications themselves.
