Print-Print versus Print-Preview-Print

Is there a difference between the following operations from any
given program? Let's say Safari, because I often want to Preview
to see how many pages there are before deciding to print.

From Safari:
File > Print --> print dialog > Print

versus

From Safari:
File > Print --> print dialog
then choose Preview --> Abode Reader view
then print directly from Adobe using
File > Print --> print dialog > Print

It sounds like a waste of steps, but after I preview in Adobe
Reader, I usually close the preview and go back and print
directly from Safari.

The outputs should be the same, right? Is the answer
application dependent?

Thank you.

Well, actually I have often problems with MS Word. Some files just won't
be printed, they seem to be sent to the printer, but just disappear in a
black hole. When done via the preview route they will print.
