Print Preview in Mac LR Classic

Question

Recently became a Mac user of Lightroom Classic.  In the Windows version, I was accustomed to going to a print preview when I click on "Print" in the print module.  As I remember, Print Preview was an option in the printer setup (I use an Epson 4900).The Mac version goes directly to the printer without the preview.  Am I missing an option or do Mac users do crossword puzzles in ink?

Thanks to all who responded. You have confirmed that the combination of LR/OS/Epson driver for Mac does not provide the preview to which I was accustomed in the combo with Window. In the past, the preview capability has saved a lot of expensive ink/paper by identifying a faulty page set up before committing to print.

Print Preview (in the printer driver) isn't color managed and pretty worthless.

IF you click just "Print" in LR, there's no dialog as everything is set to print without seeing the dialog by design. But again, there's no reason to have to view the preview in the print driver.

IF instead you pick Printer.... that will call up the printer dialog (the clue to a new dialog on Mac is that ... after the name). But again, there's no reason to have to view the preview in the print driver. And depending on the print driver, there's not going to be one (preview) anyway.
