I found that cups-pdf wasn't installed which explained why
system-config-printer didn't see a generic PDF printer.  Oddly enough,
LibreOffice sees it, but I can't print to it (don't get a dialog to save
to file) - but I found out when I "print to file" - it worked and made a
real small output (87k file)
