open printing with dialog -- Windows equiv?

[Hershel Fisch]

Sorry to say , I think the whole printing lib needs to be enhanced. I 
definitely think that every body should give there full vote for it .

when it comes to business applications with out these enhancements you 
are dead........
besides that , its a shame , RR a  tool with every thing to it, capable 
, easy and so on should lack a main feature and an important one like 
this, especially with many competition out there
