What happens at least on Linux is basically:

1) LO generates PDF (or PostScript, if that option is set) print data
2) LO hands that over to CUPS (the printing system)

Moving 1) to a separate thread and editing the document (model) while it's
being "converted" *might* cause inconsistencies (or at least require additional
measures to avoid that, but I don't what happens here exactly)

After 2), LO is no longer be "blocked", since the LO part is done and
everything else happens on CUPS side and is "independent" of LO
