1661382 - Remove print modal header and footer semantics for a11y

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Printing, defect, P3)

Description

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

Semantics are normally a good thing. However, the print dialog is small enough that having the header and footer semantics doesn't really help the user with navigation and serves only to add extraneous verbosity for screen reader users.

STR (with the NVDA screen reader):

1. Open the print modal.
2. Tab to the print button.
   • Expected: NVDA should say "Print button"
   • Actual: NVDA says "content info landmark, Print button"
