163396 - composer should have a print preview button.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21432

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[andy]

say you want to print out something for someone that does not have a computer.
for example, your grandpa. they want to find out how much it is to replace their
beta vcr, so the hundreds of tapes and home movies can be once again played. you
do a search on ebay. the results come up. you go to file, edit page, and then
you cut out all the adds, and other **** that would be confusing to someone who
has no clue what they even are. all you have left is the results. you want to
print this out, remove all headers, and footers. you want to print it so that it
will fit on one page. composer does not have a print preview button, so you have
to save the page to a file, and then open it up in navigator. then goto print
preview. then, you have to go back into composer, and remove some stuff, or fix
something to make it all fit on one page. then you have to save the file, and
reopen it up in navigator. then go to print preview. then the page looks fine,
and you print it. then you have to close out the navigator window. then close
out the composer window, and then find the file that you saved the page to, that
you will never want to lookat again. if composer had a print preview button, you
could skip a lot of wastefull switching between windows, and saving, and
deleting a file that didn;t really want to save.
