Sorry my first answer was not *structured* enough. There are two ways to print an XML document: [1] Using "File|Print", which prints the CSS styled view you see on screen. [2] In the case of DocBook, XHTML, DITA, etc, by converting the document being edited to PostScript and then, by sending the generated PostScript file to a PostScript Printer. --> If you talk about [1]: * We currently do not support the CSS way to force a page break when printing the styled view. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/page.html#forced * There is currently no "File|Print Preview" menu item (except on the Mac, where this is supported natively.) --> If you talk about [2]: * In the case of DocBook, you need to insert in the document being edited a special processing instruction (e.g. <?hard-pagebreak?>). See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageBreaking.html for a complete description. * Technically, it is possible (and even not too complicated using an ad-hoc macro command -- http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/ch02.html), to convert an XML document to PostScript, to start Ghostscript to preview it and if the user confirms it, to send the generated PostScript file to a (user-chosen) PostScript printer. (It is also possible to use PDF and Acrobat Reader instead of PostScript and Ghostscript.)
