Needing a 'print preview' capability for HP Officejet Pro 8600 (model N911a)

Please provide a 'print preivew' capability via the HP 'print window' for the 8600 Pro.

I purchased this machine in early April 2014 after the prior printer (photosmart 410) 'threw-up' ink inside the printer.  The software with that Photosmart 410, prior (and perhaps some current) HP printers provide a 'print preview' capability.

I have several systems (some Windows Vista; some Win-7).  All are current with maintenace (including HP S/W & drivers).

The printer is ethernet-cable connected to a 'switch' and in-turn ethernet-cable connected to a wireless router.  Some PCs are also ethernet-cable connected; others are wireless connected.

 

The ability to do a 'print preview' via the HP S/W is not available on any system (i.e. via the 'print' window or subsequent windows, like 'Properties' or 'Advanced').

 

While some applications have a print preview capability, not all do.  Having that capability via the printer 'window (i.e via HP provide S/W) is necessary - it is useful to make sure formating is proper, allows for subsequent changes if needed, and provides the abiloity to see and select the printing of only some pages.

 

This issue and request has been raised several times - going back to 2012.  Just do a search on the Forum using keywords '8600' and 'preview'.  The following are a couple instances:
