I'll put it on our list, but I don't expect to get to this in the next
couple of weeks. In general, we try not to block engineers on UI, so if you
make good progress on the preview, we'll prioritize this higher.

I think the settings should just be global and sticky (just like default
printer on the mac: it just uses the last one you used). Most people
probably don't want to change print settings when they're not printing.

I think Ben's opinion was that the preferences would be hard to
understand without the preview, so we should do the preview first. I
can't comment on the difficulty of it :)
