Using system print dialog a good idea?

Hi All,
I need the functionality of the system print dialog, and I see that I
can open it with a simple DoCmd. I'm wondering, is it a bad idea? Is it
difficult to get value to and from?

I just seem to notice a lot of folks talking about doing things like
changing printers in code, and I wonder if there's something I don't know
that makes all that work necessary, even with the system print dialog so
accessable (no pun intended)?

I've always opened my reports in Preview and let the user use the system
Print Dialog to print them and not only have I not had any complaints, it is
what my clients requested -- my clients' users always wanted to look at the
report on-screen before printing.
