7955e/7958e Print preview

[Skyzoomer]

Just bought a HP 7958e inkjet printer (it's like the 7955e).  I select the "HP envy 7900 series" and then click "Properties".

In the Properties window, there are 2 tabs:  "Layout" and "Paper/Quality".  I cannot find a "Print preview" option in either tab.

There is an "Advanced" button in the Properties window.  But clicking that button, there is no option for "Print Preview".

How can I do a print preview before actually printing as to not waste photo paper and ink in case I missed a setting?

Any way to get a print preview before printing?

Rainbow23,

It appears that your response is how to print a photo.  I want to have a PREVIEW of the sheet of paper (what ever size I selected like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 inch) with how the image will look on  that sheet of paper "on my computer's screen" without actually printing the image. 

For instance, suppose I wanted a borderless 4x6 print, but the preview on my computer's screen shows a 4x6 sheet with borders around the image.  Then I would realize that I neglected to select borderless as an option.  I go back into the printer's settings and select borderless.  Now the preview on my computer's screen shows a 4x6 inch sheet with the image on it as borderless.  THEN I print the photo without having wasted a 4x6 inch sheet of photo paper and ink.

Thanks for your help,
