I was one of the people complaining about not being able to print to a pdf
file, but that is with FF2 (openSUSE 10.3) which _is_ missing that option.
I checked on my laptop running 11.0 and FF3 and the option is there. :-))
As soon as 11.1 GM is available I will be installing it on my desktop and
will have FF3.
