- k310 3y agoI "print" a lot of stuff to PDF, chiefly from the browser. So, I hit "Print" (Command-P in every app's main menu). If I don't hit "save to PDF" either via the pdf pulldown, or my own shortcut, "Command-P, Save as PDF...", then the pages go to the default printer instead of to a file. I work kind of fast, so it happens. the lprm - command removes the job from the print queue. If I don't, then it prints the next time the printer is switched on. Not desired. This can happen if you save files to PDF via the print command, which I do incessantly. Some apps do have a "save to pdf" menu item, but this works for all apps. HTH
- sdsd 3y agoOh, that's interesting! I've only ever needed Command-P for webpages, and on Firefox, for me, Command-P saves to PDF by default so I've never had to worry about that.
