I only use 1.7.3. On this version, if you do "file", "print...", the 
print to file is a radio button at the top of that page, along with the 
printer selection. If it isn't still there, maybe it moved...but perhaps 
they just accidentally left it out also (bug report?). I can't imagine 
they left it out on purpose. One other alternate idea, perhaps it was an 
option in some way and whoever compiled it did not use the right 
option...in which case you could build from source and get it back. I'm 
tempted to upgrade now just to see.
