I always thought "Print Preview" was a feature of a specific application like MS Word or an inbuilt feature of your printer driver. I wasn't aware that Windows OS itself provided a "Print Preview" feature. Maybe I'm wrong. Rob -- Red meat isn't bad for you....Blue, Green fuzzy meat is bad for you. |

Unfortunately some OEMs have decided not to update drivers for older printers for Vista, so you are stuck with the inbox drivers, which do not support Print Preview. If any OEMs have written their own driver for Vista then you may find that these include Print Preview, although the improved security may have made that harder. I haven't looked for this myself since we are still running XP at home (and I know that our Epson printers are on the list which Epson have not updated for Vista). Judy |

| | Re: print preview That's what I thought too but I always had a print preview with my printer until I switched to Vista...so I thought it had something to do with Vista. But Judy Booth has the best response. Thanks, Judy!

Thanks, Judy! I originally said that the HP Driver for my Photosmart 2610 included a print preview button in the "Finishing" tab.
