Hi,

Apparently there are a lot of improvements in OpenLayers plugin.

It use to be that project with OpenLayers only could use EPSG 3857 
(pseudo Merkator)
projection. It seems it is different now.

Bit still there is a problem:

1. Assuming that there is a project with one GeoTIFF (or other GIS 
raster / vector data)
     in UTM.

2. Use OpenLayers to add Google or OpenStreets later.

3. Use Project / Project properties menu to set on the fly projection 
and assign project
     projection as UTM (NOT as Pseudo Merjator!) Everything seems 
working correctly so far

4. Go to print composer and create parer map. Everything looks right in 
map composer.

5. Print / create PDF. Now Google Layer is misplaced considerably from 
other GIS data!
      It is still about the same place, but difference is few hundreds 
meters or so.
      This is also true for OpenStreet or Bing layers if they are used - 
the same shift.

       There should be no licensing restrictions at least for OpenStreets.

Thank you!

Mikhail
