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. -- Timothy F.
