Right or wrong? If wrong, why?
Well, kind of. Of course the printing quality will depend on the
quality of the printer and the paper that you use. But once exported
to PDF, the typesetting quality of your document should be rock-solid,
whichever printer you use.
So, the typesetting advantages of LyX/LaTeX is retained in a PDF
document? That's great, since OS X has included native PDF export
from the print dialog for some time.
You don't need to use anything like that. LyX exports directly to PDF
(which, if I remember correctly, is really a variety of PostScript,
tuned for the web).
This is good to know about exporting to PDF.
AFAIK, PostScript is a printer language, where a PDF is supposed to be a
cross platform, software independent document format. And the web has
nothing to do with it.
