    Is there a Printer Program out there that you can add two or more Pics, Docs, or whatever on the Preview Page? Instead of me having to open a Photo edit app to collage pics together, and the same with text files etc: A drag n Drop printer app where you can arrange file on the Preview page would be nice.

    Is there something like this or close to it?

    Yea something like that. As easy as you can Drag n Drop pics on to a white background space in Photoshop. I would like to do this with the Printer Preview without opening up a program to handle pics or docs.

    I guess it doesn't exist yet.

    Why can't you use something like PowerPoint?

    IE7 PRINTER PREVIEW.

    FIREFOX PRINTER PREVIEW.

    I want an app that uses a printer preview, or one that looks like a printer preview. So I can Drag n Drop, Open files, and manipulate Preview and print out.

    This would be better for me instead of opening Photoshop, or any Office application just to make something to quickly print.

    Whether it's called Printer Preview or not, manipulating preview (or objects) is essentially a page layout program. Perhaps not the quickest but Word and PowerPoint WYSIWYG editors does just that.

    There might be a Firefox extension for it... I doubt it, though. I guess you'd better start learning how to code. ;)

    Opening another program will defeat the whole purpose, I would like to just press print preview and drag and drop anywhere on the white background. Even if it's another app, it could be plugged in to the print preview.

    I'm going to look for that, I doubt there is a FF extension for that tho.

    Yea, coding is something I seriously need to get into.
