The difference is that print direct always used Inkscape's internal PS renderer. The print command used on specific to your installation. If you're compiled with GNOME-Print, that would be print. On Windows, this uses the Win32 print driver. The "Print Direct" button only appears if you have some other driver hiding the PS version.

OK, but why this needs to be two different commands in the UI? Or at least, why both are present on my win xp?

Also, do we really need to use the "command specific to installation"? What advantages does it give us? And how it actually works - what does it get from Inkscape?
