Print Preview Missing

[TLC]

Don't waste your time because printers have never had print preview
facility. How can they have this facility? How does it know what you are
trying to print? You have to use an application to send it to the
printer. You don't load a document to a printer!

Adobe acrobat/reader has an icon to show you what you are printing but
it is not a proper print preview.

I have an HP Officejet 6500 E709a and its print driver provides a print
preview which provides the option to Print or Cancel prior to sending to
the printer.

I suppose it would benefit the group, and especially the OP, to point
out that you're completely wrong.

Some printers have included a print preview function as part of the
driver software for well over 10 years, so it's nothing new and
certainly not uncommon.

Well quit your bitching and get your head out of your ass then! If you
are so good about finding them, prove it by helping Bill here.


Nope, nothing frustrating about eye candy. I just don't require it to
get work done.

Then why aren't you still using Win2K? Don't you remember that Win XP is
just Win2K with a Fisher-Price interface?

Correct. You are completely wrong because you don't preview anything by
loading a document in printers;

Some printers have included a print preview function as part of the
driver software for well over 10 years, so it's nothing new and
certainly not uncommon.

All printers have drivers but it is the application that allows you to
preview how a document will look when printed. Application sends out
commands to the printer to print the document in a particular fashion.

Somebody pointed out Adobe. Adobe acrobat is in fact a printer [driver
to be precise] which not many people know about this. With Adobe, you
"print" the document to create a pdf file. However, the preview is part
of the adobe application not the printer.

Microsoft Office 2007 has a facility to save as pdf but you need to
download (from MS website) a special driver for it to create a pdf
printer. The preview is again part of the MS application i.e. office 2007.

I have used HP printers since 1994 but never seen print preview facility
.. Applications like Word Perfect 5.0 or 5/1 for dos, Lotus 123 for dos
etc (in those good days) had a print preview facility which uses the
printer drivers but it has nothing to do with the printer.

Please refrain from misinforming the public. You must be a fag! to have
a brain like this.

You must be part of Micro-Shits family boy but you know a thing or two
and I salute you. pdf contains a printer driver to print to to create a
pdf file.

Other thing --- don't hang around with fags like Char Jackson. He has a
smaller brain to concide with his smaller penis. He is also a Jewish
and so his cock is chopped off by his mum.

Why are you posting with Thunderbird 2 when 3 has been out for at least
TWO YEARS?

 

[Tester]

So you had to post this TWICE? Know what you are doing, do you?

Now this one with version 2 boy! Are you a faggot as well?

 

[Tester]

OOOOHHH! My knees are knocking!

Well then don't perform blow job on your boy-friend!!!

Actually I still do and monitor the alt.windows-w2k newsgroup all of the
time.

Don't you remember that Win XP is just Win2K with a Fisher-Price
interface?

Yeah at first it was and I don't want nothing to do with it until XP SP2
when the benefits of XP was better. Like better memory management,
better media support, and better newer hardware support, etc. So then I
thought I should switch most of my machines over. Nowadays some programs
require XP SP2 or better and that is what sold me.

But when it comes to Windows 7, there is nothing impresses me yet. Sure
there are some things besides eye candy (not much) that are interesting.
But nothing much for me to convert everything over to Windows 7. And so
far, there are no applications that require Windows 7 for me. Until
there is enough of them, I wouldn't be sold either.

As all I care abut is running the applications that I want to run. So
far they all run under XP. And anything else just comes up short.

IE9?

 

[Evelyn Woolston]

What software are you using which you want to preview, Bill? My Epson D92
drivers don't work properly either in that I don't get the usual Error
Monitor and have had to learn to listen for bleeps and carriage movement to
show me what the fault is but I can still get print previews in most
software (Word, Open Office, Works) by using the software's own Print
Preview. Maybe there is some freeware available for previews for other stuff
(eg printing emails)
Evi

 

[Bill]

I do get a preview in Word, Excel. etc. - I just don't see the option
in the "Printing Preferences>Print Options" anymore like I did in XP.

Not really interested in IE9 yet. Why do you like it? I really like
Maxthon browsers compared to other browsers myself.

Then what the HELL are you doing in a Windows 7 newsgroup? XP General
is that way -->

Same as everybody else is. Getting Windows 7 help and helping others.
Although you are different than most people here. As you try to see how
irritated you can make others. Your not all that helpful, are you?

Bill claims to have dozens of computers

True, first one was back in '81.

and has run/is running every single OS you can imagine. <chuckle>

I never said that. There are hundreds of OS. Although I do run most of
the more popular ones.

"Like it" are strong words for me. I use different browsers to test
websites I design. apart from that I prefer Mozilla Foundation
Softwares - FF, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird etc.

Also, I mainly work on XP (windows 7 is for testing purposes) so I don't
have the opportunity to choose whether it is IE8 or IE9.

If you don't use Windows 7, how can you help? If you don't use Windows
7, why would you need help? I am very helpful here, much more than you
will ever be because all you want to do it bitch, bitch, bitch.

And you lie like a dog! But what else is new?

You probably run IE6.

Under Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, that is as high as you can go.

Figures.

No wonder you are so clueless. And no wonder you get viruses. lol

commands to the printer to print the document in a particular fashion.

Some applications (word processors, spreadsheets, and web browsers are
a few examples) have a print preview function, but most applications
do not. On the other hand, some printer drivers (Epson, for example)
include a print preview as a selectable feature in their printer
driver software.

As common as that is, I'm surprised you haven't noticed it before.

No, I don't.

Sure you do, you are lying right now.

I didn't say you don't have Windows 7 installed. I was just reiterating
what you said: that you don't use it.

I didn't say I don't use it. I said I hardly use it.

Sooooooooo, now can you answer the questions instead of trying to move
the goal posts in a lame attempt to distract from the issue?

The goal post keeps moving because you keep lying. It is just that simple.
