✨(frontend) print a doc with native browser

We can now print a doc with the native browser
print dialog.
This feature uses the browser's built-in print
capabilities to generate a print preview and
allows users to print directly from the application.
It has as well a powerfull print to PDF feature
that leverages the browser's PDF generation
capabilities for better compatibility and
quality.
