with Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 on Linux you can choose Print Preview but on the Print Preview Page there is no "Print" button.

On windows with Firefox 2.0.0.14 the Print button is there with more options.

1. Menu, File, Print Preview
2. Search for Print button;)
3.
Actual Results:  
no Print button in the Print Preview Windows

Expected Results:  
a button in Print Preview to print directly from there

I see this in Firefox and Thunderbird

I'm almost positive that the operating system that the user is on (in your case Linux) is charge of providing the print/print preview dialogs.  So for me on Windows XP at the moment with Firefox 3 RC1, I have a print button in the print preview window, but the Linux Firefox 3 RC1 might have different results because of the differing operating system.

Print preview window is provided by Mozilla (except on Mac, perhaps).  Linux has never had a print button (except with the old XPrint backend) (except when it had a print button that didn't work).  This is bug 126802.  Also note comment 22 in that bug.
