A method for providing three-dimensional graphical representations of printer outputs is disclosed. A determination is initially made as whether or not a print datastream includes medium control. If the print datastream includes medium control, medium control information are extracted from an include medium map within the print datastream in order to rasterize the medium control on a texture map. The rasterized texture map is then applied to a three-dimensional page object. The three-dimensional page object is subsequently displayed on a display device for an end user to view.
