[Gllug] Print preview program

[Ryan Cartwright]

Hi Andrew,

if you are using KDE then the kprinter dialogs will do this (as long as 
the app uses kprinter that is - some like Firefox do not)

Print preview checkbox on the dialog

once viewing the preview you can select the pages you want to actually 
print and then print them

in the properties for the printer there's usually a pages per sheet option.

You specifically mentioned web pages so I'll mention firefox. As said FF 
doesn't use kprinter by default. Pre-1.5 you used to be able to get 
around this by setting the print command to kprinter (you still can in 
Thunderbird) but I'm not sure if you can do this now - never tried 
really. You might have to get into about:config to change the printer 
command.

cheers
Ryan
