How do I open a preview page when clicking on a hyperlink?

Each browser has a preview command in the File menu. I want to make a Print button on the HTML page and after clicking I want to open the preview page. is it possible?

With this we can open the print options <a href="javascript:window.print()">Print this page</a>

but is it possible to open the print preview page instead of print options?
