It might just be an oversight with the pdf from the printing path going down the classic printing logic, while the pdf from export to pdf goes down a render-to-canvas style route where the eps preview is taken. If we can get embedded eps in the export to pdf route that'd probably be far more desirable if you want to have a go at that ?

[Libreoffice] how to print into .ps
Hi, if you select Print to File check box in the Print dialog, it generates .pdf file. IMHO, if you debug printing bugs, it would be great to see the .ps file that is send to the printer. Is there any easy way how to get it? Best Regards, Petr ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

Run spadmin, check disable cups support (cups default print-job format nowadays is PDF, isn't it?) You might then want to setup the corresponding PPD manually though... ciao Christian ___ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice

My Ubuntu installation under VirtualBox has no printers installed. When I select File Print in LibreOffice, the Options tab in the Print dialog contains a checkbox for Print to file. Checking this checkbox changes the Print button into a Print to File ... button. The Print to File ... button opens a Save dialog; this dialog contains a File type option where I can choose PostScript, and options to choose a file name and a folder. After that, I get a file that looks like PostScript to me. (It starts with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 when I open it in gedit.) But maybe what you really want to know is how to select the printer driver through which the PostScript is generated?

Ah, I was not aware that PDF was sent to the printer. In this case, print to file works as expected. It should save exactly the same thing that it would send to the selected printer.

Run spadmin, check disable cups support (cups default print-job format nowadays is PDF, isn't it?) Other CUPS-using applications have choice between PS, PDF or SVG when printing to file. See for example evince, gimp or gedit. So unless there is a good reason not to, we should offer the same choice.
