I'm not sure I see the need for this either.
OW does have a shortcut (shift+option+cmd+s, which you can see in the
file menu by holding the option key) that saves the current page to
PDF. This though doesn't seem to go through the printing mechanism; I
think it just dumps OW's rendering of the page into a one-page PDF --
often a one very long PDF not suitable for printing or viewing. But
the keystroke is about as (perhaps more) useful than a toolbar button.
Incidentally, has anyone managed to applescript printing to PDF. I'd
love to be able to dump all tabs of a browser into a folder as PDFs.
I tried using GUI scripting and I couldn't get it manage all the
dialogs (not that I'm a script guru or anything ...)
