A drag-and-drop direct printing method with enhanced functions is described. A printing bin icon is provided on the computer's desktop, and the user drags files onto the icon to print the files without manually opening them. The printing bin program allows a user to set basic printing property settings, select a printer, compose a page, etc. all without visibly opening the files or the full printing and print properties interface. Simple popup menus, such as a printing property setting menu, printer selection menu, page composition menu, etc. are provided to allow the user to accomplish these functions. In one embodiment, when a user drops a file in the printing bin icon, a popup menu allows the user to select one of multiple printing methods, such as print with current settings, change settings and print, select printer and print, compose page and print, etc.
