This is useful when you're preparing a template for use with a dedicated 
printer/tray (I'm just doing this at the moment!). The template designer 
won't actually print the document.

In the situation I describe, having a Print button (pre 4.4) is a 
blessing: the document has to be printed with the predefined settings, 
hence going to the File > Print dialog is one step too many (and is 
prone to errors).

One may want to feed some pages from some tray (eg color paper) and 
others from another one (my actual situation for the template stated 
above). Well, anyway, the Paper tray option is already in the Page Style 
dialog.
