Windows Print Helper

Hi,

Has anyone ever heard of a program, when running, will catch all that is supposed to be printed by any program and show it on the screen, while suppressing the actual printout in the printer?

If not, any ideas on how to catch all the printer's jobs, suppress them, and show them?

This would save a lot of trees for future and current projects when testing the printing functions.

How is this different from opening the printer and working with the print queue ?

You can use the print queue to see the printout before you print?

wow that would be nice....too bad i don't have admin rights, so i can't pause/stop printing on the printer.

Are you saying you can't select Printers and Faxes from the Start menu?

Double-click on the printer and you have the print queue.

You should not need admin rights.

I can open the print queue but no jobs show up and the ability to pause/stop printing is an administrator right.

I want a program that instead of letting the job go to the printer, it takes the job and paints it on the screen.

I'm quite sure the queue doesn't have the ability to literally view the print job's contents. Am I wrong?

Sorry, but I am out of suggestions.
