You can still "Print Preview" in the applications themselves (like Word or PowerPoint). You do that in the application.
In Windows 7, go to Devices and Printers, then right click on your printer. From there, you select Printer Properties. It is in Printer Properties that you set up your shares.
Also Printer Properties will let you configure the printer like under XP.
There is a Properties selection as well, but it different. See if this helps you more.
Good luck!
