Suggestions for debugging print stylesheets?

by

I’ve recently been working on a print stylesheet for a website, and I realized that I was at a loss for effective ways to tweak it. It’s one thing to have a reload cycle for working on the on-screen layout:

  • change code
  • command-tab
  • reload

but that whole process gets much more arduous when you’re trying to print:

  • change code
  • command-tab
  • reload
  • print
  • squint at print-preview image
  • open PDF in Preview for further inspection

Are there tools I’m missing out on here? Does WebKit’s inspector have a “pretend this is paged media” checkbox? Is there some magic that Firebug (shudder) can do?
