Description Colin Leroy 2007-09-22 16:01:00 UTC 
When clicking on the Unix print dialog's Preview button, the print dialog is closed. This forces users who want to print something but first check how the output would look like, to do:

File/Print
Set parameters
Preview
Close Preview
File/Print
Print

This is really not intuitive.

The idea is that you can print from the preview application, which should have all the necessary settings.
