There is a difference between a computer that has a printer installed but turned off and computer that have no printer at all installed.
Your first sentence highlights the main problem with a LOT of software developers (open and closed source alike). If it works for them, they don't give a shit if it doesn't work for someone else. The only difference between open and closed in this case is that closed relies on people to buy their stuff, and as such actually have an incentive to fix it, or fall out of market.

It also works for me with a disconnected printer, but you're right, a printer driver is installed. However, I have to ask - how important is print preview if you don't even have a printer? I guess I can think of a few examples where it might be used, but in the vast majority of cases it's pretty useless without a printer. So I for one support Mozilla's decision to focus on more important bugs and leave this for later.

AAMOF, that was a calculated snub on my part, which is unusual. You seemed so willing to badmouth the devs in general for overlooking this particular feature.

*shrug* Print preview works for me. My printer (and AFAICT my printer software) is turned off.
