I run CUPS 1.4.6. and my PDF printer, entered via the CUPS' webinterface,
is:

Description:    PDF Generator
Location:       local file in /var/spool/cups-pdf/guru/
Driver: Generic postscript color printer rev4 (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection:     cups-pdf:/
Defaults:       job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided

Of course you must install cups-pdf before.
