We use microsoft word and ran into a similar problem.  The explanation from 
Microsoft was as follows (readers digest version):

1) print to file WILL NOT include the prologue file that would normally be 
   sent to the printer, if it were direct connected.

2) Microsoft assumes (because it has always been done that way with "word") 
   that the end user will MANUALLY sent the prolog file to the printer before 
   dumping the "save to file" output.

Notabene might be doing the same type of thing ...
