I followed exactly

as Kurt and you pointed out. Thanks 8) I do have the PDFprinter in
/etc/cups/printers.conf. Okay at the beginning PDFprinter didn't show up
after per execution of above URL. (I did restart cups.) So I went into the
web interface of CUPS and created PDFprinter by selecting pdf printing and
choose location /var/tmp.

If you read below, I can make the PDFprinter as a downloadable driver for
Windows?
