- Not only that, but if you print from a PM program (say, DeScribe)
- while the queue is on hold, then you go to the print object, double
- click on it, then double click on the print job icon, you'll find that
- Picture Viewer starts and lets you view the print job, graphics and
- all, before it prints.
-
- Think of it as print preview for all your PM applications.
