My recollection from reading about the Star is that to print a document
you didn't drag it to a printer icon. Instead, you had to select the
icon, hit the Move (or Copy) button, and select the printer icon. In
fact, I don't think the Star user interface had any concept of dragging
objects around. (One reference is "The Xerox Star: A Retrospecitve" in
Sept 89 IEEE Computer.)
