It's a good idea.
BTW, there are other packages which have a long documentation comment, should
these packages also move the documentation into a separate TeXInfo manual?

I'll address this on next printing version.

I'll address this also on next printing version.

The pr-temp-dir has the following setting:
(defcustom pr-temp-dir
(pr-dosify-path
;; hacked from `temporary-file-directory' variable in files.el
(file-name-as-directory
(or (getenv "TMPDIR") (getenv "TMP") (getenv "TEMP")
(cond (ps-windows-system "c:/temp")
((memq system-type '(vax-vms axp-vms)) "SYS$SCRATCH:")
(t "/tmp")
))))
"*Specify a directory for temporary files during printing."
:type '(directory :tag "Temporary Directory")
:group 'printing)
So, by default, pr-temp-dir and temporary-file-directory has the same value.

It could, but I'm not sure this is a good idea.
Thanks,
