Doesn't Ghostscript printer drivers/system have the ability to to 
emulate a "physical" printer like CUPS-PDF does on Linux and doPDF does 
on Windows.  That is not printing to a file, but printing to a "software 
printing device".

I use CUPS-PDFand doPDF as my default printer on Linux and Windows systems.

SO, I do not remember, what are you trying to do again?
Print from LO to a printer that requires Postscript or PDF output 
formatting? Or is it something else.

I use the Postscript driver options on all the printers that have that 
option available.  The rest I have to tweak to see which driverand 
settings are the best. Tried 5 different version for a laser printer - 
each gave differentprint driver menu options at print time - and 4 
different ones for an older Epson Artisan 810 inkjet printer.  I kept 2 
of the 4 for its non-overlapping options.
