Due to differences in the OpenGL features available to the VTK OpenGL2
backend (in particular, the deprecation of the feedback render mode),
the GL2PS exporter was not compatible with builds of ParaView that
used the new backend, such as the 5.0 release.

I've recently made some changes to gl2ps and our exporter that allow
vector export to work again, although with reduced functionality. The
new (OpenGL2) GL2PS exporter will only export the following as vector
graphics:
- Charts, etc (anything drawn via the vtkContext2D interface)
- 2D Text (as native text objects or generic path objects; see
vtkGL2PSExporter::TextAsPath)
- 2D MathText (always as path objects)
- 3D Text (always as path objects)

All other rendered objects (including polygonal data previously
exported as vectors by the old backend) will be rasterized to the
image's background.

This should be available in the next paraview release. In the
meantime, builds of ParaView that use the OpenGL VTK backend will
still have the old implementation of the exporter available.

Hope this helps,
Dave
