So both of the Print Previews mentioned do not show what is actually going to be printed, so they are not previews at all rather print samples. A true print previow would show the actual content, 1 page, scaled to the correct size as it will be printed, with matching borders etc. I believe this used to exist in much older SUSE distributions.
