--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I've no heartburn with doing this, so long as the distinction continues to be
made that LO's filter Export to PDF is a different filter action. 

And explicitly stating that a print filter using the OS, or an external helper,
for print capability alone is responsible to render the print job into the file
format.

While we handle creation of PDF with export filters. Document output into other
printer control formats is outside scope of LO, e.g. printing as PS, DVI, XPS,
HP-GL, and PCL, etc. in their various flavors. Generating those file formats
are best left to the OS, or external helper, print drivers as managed by the
user.

The project has no responsibility for them other than providing a button to
pass the print job to the OS and selected printer.
