Another vote for PDF Creator -- it's one of the first utilities to go on every machine I buy/reimage. Including my HP Mini.

Regarding that comparison review linked above, I haven't read it all, because I was a bit surprised (and stopped reading) when I hit this part:

"The only item PDF Creator failed at was printing a web page to pdf. I was unable to get consistent output and generally the program produced an error and exited. This can be a major issue for many users."

Printing web pages (such as, well, boarding passes, hotel reservations, itineraries, ....) is my MAIN use case for PDF Creator. I do it all the time and never had a problem. So I am not sure what the author of that review was doing wrong, but I sure can't reproduce the problem. And yes, I use it in Firefox, Chrome and (rarely) IE.
