your explanation is not clear enough but based on your question (How to preview before print using eclipse?) I think I know what you mean. as I realized you want to have a preview before printing your page, Ok then, jQuery has a plugin with this very aim which is called Print Preview Plugin. use this plugin and:

$('#yourcontainer').prepend('<a class="preview-page">Print this page</a>');
$('a.preview-page').printPreview();

then you can call $.printPreview.loadPrintPreview(); and your problem is solved. here this is a DEMO get a view-source, you'll see the solution.

BTW, you can find this plugin's git repository in this link: [Print Preview Plugin](https://github.com/etimbo/jquery-print-preview-plugin) — Mehran Hatami, Dec 06 '13 at 09:51
