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.
