printer Ps vs Pdf, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] LO 4.0- Beta2

Hi :)
I was hoping that changing the setting in 

File - "Printer Settings" 

would change the default setting.  


An alternative would be to copy the User Profile from either your Gnu&Linux or your Windows machine 
into the place where your new profile should be

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

but after doing that it might be wise to reinstall the upgraded version of LO just in case there 
are new settings for certain things that need to overwrite the older settings.  Note that the User 
Profile can supposedly be copied between different platforms, between Windows, Gnu&Linux and Mac 
but it's probably best done before doing an install or upgrade just to make sure.  


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
