Well...

If you have a printing filter; and the filter takes for input the
printable data, and outputs the id of the print request.

Currently, emacs trashes the file and loads up the silly output from
the print spooler. This is not good.  THEREFORE...  it would be nice
to have a VIEW mode that would not load up the changes and yet filter
(print) the edited buffer...

OK?
