I would leave it in menu as it is faster and it need not any inputs.


The problem with this menuitem is:
-it's uncommon, e.g. I didn't find it in the "Gnome human interface guidelines" -it's not obvious, in what format and how the details of this packet will be printed 

The "not obvious" point confuses new users I'm talking to *very* often.
You have to guess how it will work, and that's definitely not a good thing for a GUI. 

If you insist on this item, I can put it back into the menus.

What do others think of this?
