Redundancy is not a sin. :-) 
Why ? We have duplication for toolbars, why not in menu?

Redundancy is a good thing as it offers several ways of access to functions in
terms of casual users like Benjamin and power users like Eve. Both are free to
Copy by keyboard, context menu, toolbar, or main menu. 

Duplicates in menus, on the other hand, do not add another way of interaction.
Quite contrary, users might get confused whether or not the entries have
different options - just like us regarding Sort... (which have to get renamed,
by the way). So I would add this as the 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not have
duplicates in menus." (to be added to the HIG?)

Regarding the issue: Can we solve the Print <Preview> problem by renaming the
function? Another solution would be to always show the preview before printing
(would be weird however). We discussed this but I don't remember the outcome.
