Internet Explorer has by far the best print preview and printing engine. It hasn't changed since v4, nevertheless it is still better than any other browser.

One can zoom the page content, print only selected content, disable background pictures and color, print only main content (no menu bar), etc.

Interestingly enough, I tried out NCSA/Spyglass Mosaic v3 32-bit on Win7 and it already had almost the same print-preview features that are still available in IE (IE 1 emerged from Mosaic code base, IE up to v6 had "Mosaic" it in the copyright text in the about dialog).

Please browser vendors improve your print preview engine!
