    There is a cups module that allows you to print to file as a pdf. You'd have to google it I'm afraid, unless anyone else here can chip in how to install it on DSL. It's in my package manager on Fedora.

    In your particular case, this is unnecessary. gnuplot can create for you a postscript file, which can be transformed into a PDF by using the utility "ps2pdf". Go and check the gnuplot documentation for information on having postscript output.
