Texinfo documents are not plain text documents, so their typesetting
is more complex than just Org-style "export".  For that reason, a
project that supports producing printed manuals usually has a Makefile
with the corresponding settings and commands.  With such projects,
what you want to do is achieved by something like

  M-x compile RET make PDF RET

This will invoke Make to produce the printed manual.
