Describe the feature you'd like
Add a Print link in the Export menu of pages that opens tab or popup with a content-only version of the current page and auto-opens the print dialogue box.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
This is a common feature of many documentation platforms.

Some users expect a print link in web apps and don't know where to find their browser's print feature.

If the content-only print popup doesn't use flexbox for layout, it would also fix the bug I reported here.

Thanks for the suggestion @abulgatz.

I can understand the use-case of showing Print but I wonder if it makes sense being in the "export" menu. It's good that it doesn't add an extra toolbar item but if a user could not find their browser print functionality would they think to look in an "Export" menu?

I'm going to close this off since there's been little other desire for this feature, indicating it's likely not widely needed.
