It should be reported, yes. In other OSes, the print preview window 
contains its own "Print" button. Perhaps an even better way of fixing 
the problem in Gnome would be to merge the print preview into the Print 
dialog, so that you can quickly see the effect of changes you make to 
the printing options. This possibility was presented by Alex Graveley 
in his mockup of a new print dialog last month
