Steps to reproduce:
As we are moving towards WebExtensions many people see that they don't allow as much as Firefox extensions nowadays.
Some see lack of printing API... disturbing.

I'd like to see such API to use in extension with our web application too.
Something like print(window, printSettings) and printpreview(window, printSettings).
In Add-on SDK it was possible to print through an extensions with stuff like
windowUtils.getMostRecentBrowserWindow().printUtils.printPreview and
windowUtils.getMostRecentBrowserWindow().print functions and that won't be possible in WebExtensions as far as I can tell.
