Unfortunately, installing cups-pdf did not help.

Indeed generating PDF worked in gedit.

Can the "Generate PDF" option be hidden only in epiphany?  If not, are
we still in time to change the error message?

Mi attempt at it:

	PDF generation requires the package cups-pdf to work, and is
	still not supported in Epiphany.
