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.
