How to Convert Web-page into a PDF File

In the past I had install an addon like pdfit to either Firefox or Chrome that enabled me to convert a webpage to pdf...until I found this:

It works wonders with Crunchbang: ctrl + P and voila' ! You have the option (foomatic?) to print to pdf. A PDF folder is created in your home directory where the pdf's are dropped. Got to like the simplicity.

Don't expect a faithful reproduction every time with this method.

Sometimes, depending on how a page is formatted (panes seem to be a major factor) you may only get a single page printed.  (You'd get similar results with a real printer's output.)  In these cases, Midori is usually a great fallback; I've never failed to print a full document from Midori.  It doesn't always display pages the same as Iceweasel though.
