I think this is an issue with the printer driver. For example, if I wish
to create a PDF with CMYK I use the ghostscript ppd - ghostpdf.ppd:

and see:

[pdf export only in RGB colorspace!]

I just set up a virtual printer using that driver/ppd & select when I
need to print in CMYK.

Of course, it would be nice if LibO used that driver (or a modified
version) to allow CMYK, but I don't know what work would be involved.
File a bug/wishlist report & perhaps some kind soul will take it up for
LibO.

Note: I've no idea on how to use this driver on Windows if that is what
your friend is using... you'll need to explore the Google links for that.
