AFAIK, CUPS relies on ghostscript, a postscript interpretator, and it
seems LibO prints in postscript when using CUPS. While in windows
printing is done by GDI, which is different.

So while with CUPS priting always generates postscript, in windows it
only generates if the printer driver does the GDI->PostScript
translation.
