How, exactly, do you propose Firefox builds a "print preview" without a print driver. The entire point of print preview is to emulate what the page would like like when printed, without a printer what are you formatting the print preview for, your screen? If that is the case, what exactly is the point of a "print preview". You have to tell Firefox what type of printer output you wish to preview. What if you want to preview it on legal size paper without borders, not many printers are capable of this.

Not requiring a driver is not a possible feature, it is a requirement of using "print preview". If you are determined to have a "print preview" without a printer, install a generic printer or a pdf printer driver as others have pointed out.

Sorry, but how do IE and Opera do the preview whithout the driver then? Why should I fiddle with 3rd party apps like pdf printers? Silly.
