Steps to reproduce:
The new print experience allows me to enter a page scale, but it removed the previous ability to pick a page scale from a drop-down. It also closes as soon as the print is compete, retaining the manually entered scale.
Actual results:
Here's my old process: Load the page that needs 70% scale. Set the scale from drop-down. Print. Return the scale to 100% from drop-down. Close the print dialog. The next page does not require any special attention, it will print from a single click.
New process: Load the page that needs 70% scale. Open "more settings." Remove hands from mouse to type in 70. Print. Print dialog closes, leaving the 70% value. Next page now requires undoing the first. Open page that needs 100% scale, open "more settings", remove hands from mouse to type in 100. Print.
The old process took 3 extra clicks. The new process takes 6 extra clicks plus moving hands to the keyboard twice. Talk about a "first world problem!" Nevertheless, there was no need to take something that was working well and make it harder.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Printing: Output' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

There is an argument for whether the scale value should be preserved across prints... I guess given it's mostly a page setting rather than a printer setting, it should probably not?
