What program are you trying to print from? Word, Notepad? Something else?

 

Word

 

What version of Word are you using? I use Word 2010 and it automatically displays the preview on the Print Selection screen.

 

Mine is 2007 and by the way print preview always showed before printing regardless of program I was using(World, Notepad, IE 8 etc.).

 

Anybody????

 

When you select print, click on Properties next to the selected printer. open the Features tab, put a check mark in Show Preview Before Printing. You can also use the Print Preview before selecting print.

 

There is no features tab mate!

 

I use Word 2000, and 2003 and to get a print preview I have to click on File (upper left), then preview. If I don't it just immediately prints.

 

I finally got the chance to check it on the one computer I have with Office 2007 on it. this computer also has an HP Printer on it. This is where I found the details that I posted.

 

Check on the HP web site. You may have to download the utility for your printer to be able to do this.

 

I checked HP website, downloaded everything available but still there is no features tab in printer properties!

 

It should be there, I have Word 2007, with an HP Printer, and a Canon printer and both of them have the same tabs available when I select Properties next to the printer.

 

Unfortunately this one doesn't have it!

 

After the long e-mailing with the people from HP I discovered that this version of printer software doesn't include "Show preview before print" option! They apologized and said that if any new software is available, they will let me know. So all this discussion was about nothing! Anyway, thank"s all you guys for trying to help!
