Thanks for that, David.  It seems that I had made all the correct alterations.  
The missing link was in the last step - use the drop-down list and select 
Postscript/default.

Haven't tried it in seamonkey.  In the old mozilla browser I used to simply 
delete the command in the printer properties box and insert kprinter.  It 
does mean a moment's delay, since you first change to the kprinter menu, then 
still have to start the print job, but I always considered that worth it for 
the advantages.  As well as the advantages I remarked on to Rex, the link you 
gave applauded the printing of webpages to pdf.

I would have thought that one or other of these methods would work with 
seamonkey.
