make sure that no printer is installed

- launch Browser, Mail, Composer or Address Book
- open any file or URL
- click on the Print button   (or in the menu bar use 'File' - 'Print')

***Result:
No action.

***Expected:
The printer setup dialog should open.


Note: same result for 'Print Preview'...

Rod/Don, do we have a DUP on this one ?
Isn't this standard behaviour for having no printer installed in win32? I don't
know any software which gives you a print preview if no printer is installed.
Maybe we should just show an dialogue, that no print preview / printer settings
are available if no printed installed.
Changing severity to enhancement since I think this isn't a bug - maybe someone
will add a dialogue as mentioned in Comment 3
Severity: normal → enhancement
summary changed to reflect "useless-UI".
Depends on: 100166
