Enable drag-and-drop desktop printing

I don't have a printer either. If I can't send it electronically, I don't bother.

And anybody who would make me output hardcopy wouldn't get my business. Resumes/CVs included; if I can't submit an application electronically, I don't want to work for them, since it's an indication of how technologically immature the company is, and that would just annoy the crap out of me. If the can't or won't accept an attachment via email, they're clearly not serious about the position or their business. Filling in timesheets or applications for leave on paper, etc... ick.

Besides, you can print without a printer; eg: to PDF or to fax.

I'm sure this could also be done to create a PDF Printer on the Desktop / in the Dock.

Anyone got a quick step-by-step on how this is done? Thanks.

While we're on the topic of printers. I am looking for an inexpensive inkjet printer. (I know that the ink cartridges are outrageously expensive; but I won't be using the printer too often anyways.) Any recommendations? Thanks!

This is the equivalent of making an alias of your printer in ~/Preferences/Printers. It does seem useful though. You could also put it in the dock.

Even better: After creating the desktop printer, drag the icon to the dock. Then delete the desktop icon.

It's an old tip, but nice anyways :)

Also note that you can drag a folder to the printer and get a directory listing.
