[WEB4LIB] Print Preview

NetPrint can be found at http://www93.pair.com/johnmoe/.  Rather than
having a print preview, it allows you to select (by dragging) a portion of
the page and then print just that portion.  It's very useful, *but* you
lose most of the formatting and all of the graphics.

We've just started using MSIE 4.5 (for staff, not public) and the print
preview function is *very* nice. In addition to seeing which pages you need
to print, you can also either squeeze the content horizontally or crop it
so you don't get those 99% empty "right-hand" pages when one part of the
page is wider than the print area.
