Mac Tip: Drag-and-Drop Printing

Works in 10.5 and 10.6: To print a document, you don't need to open the application first. Just drag the document onto the printer icon and it will print straight out of the printer. Sometimes the relevant application will open and automatically print, other times it simply prints instantly (PDF, JPG and maybe others).

Haven't got an icon for the printer? Each time you print, the printer icon will temporarily appear on the Dock. When it does so, drag the icon to the left to have it stay in the Dock. From then on the tip above will work.
