Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress can't print to Postscript

Greetings,

This sounds to me to be less of a "fail" than a limitation, unless LO 
advertises that Impress will write a PostScript file format.  Then it 
could be called a "fail" and should have a bug report submitted on it.

To get you going if you really must have PostScript, you might try 
pstoedit, a vector file format converter. http://www.pstoedit.net/  It 
may convert (external to LO) a PDF file to a PS file for you.  I use it 
to convert a PostScript CAD drawing for printing to a DXF CAD drawing 
for editing in LibreCAD and it works fine for that.  There may be other 
converters out there.

HTH.
