Print anything quickly from the desktop Desktop
Not a big hint, but put an alias for Print Center on your desktop, and drag and drop files onto the alias.

[robg adds: You can also keep the Print Center icon in the dock if you don't like a cluttered desktop ... I actually get asked this one fairly regularly, as in "what happened to OS 9's Desktop Printing?" While this isn't quite the same (you can't choose the printer, for instance), it's not a bad substitute if you like drag and drop printing and only have one printer.]

I added the print center app to the Quickaccess Contextual menu. all I have to do is command click on the file I want to print and select Print Center from the CM. Pretty Nifty. QuickAccess is available from Versiontracker.

When you drop a file on the Print Center, it opens the program, opens the file and selects the Print option. Then it just sits there until you tell it to print. At this point you can select which printer you want it to go to, as well as any other print options.
