I have installed Drupal 6 and have the "Printer, e-mail and PDF versions" aka "Print" module installed. I then realized in order to generate PDF's from my html nodes that I need a third-party tool, which is fine but the Print module is not recognizing the third-party tools I have installed in the /modules/print/lib/ directory.
