We can re-hash this a many times as you like: OS X, Windows, and Linux all
have things such as saving to PDF in the print dialog. Yes, this can lead to
some confusion as it is tied to the underlying architectures and not actual
printing. I agree. But once you get over that "bump" it makes sense.

Makes a lot more sense than leaving the program to go to the desktop.

By the way, I asked an unrelated question in alt.os.linux.mint. A real
question... but I did make sure to speak of "Firefox's print menu". Nobody
seemed confused. They even referred to it as that.

Your games about the print dialog being out of the program in the same way
the desktop is shows you are just being silly.
