No.  One of the big changes in 1.3 is that you cannot print or email
before you save.  This is to avoid the (unfortunately common) problem
of printing out an invoice, sending it to the customer, and then
forgetting to post the invoice, save the order, or the like.  So what
we are doing is having these screens return to the posted invoice or
saved order after posting or saving.

So here you save, print/email (possibly with a checkbox enabled to
save the document generated automatically).

Thinking about this, we probably need a button with a key combination
attached to it which allows one to open a new
invoice/order/transaction screen.

Why would it be harder for printing?

Thinking about this.
