We have 148 components across GOV.UK and 13 of them have print styles (see the component auditing for details). This PR updates the print styles for any public-facing components. The changes broadly fall into these categories:
hiding/removing components that should never be printed
improving components that already have print styles
creating print styles for components that don't already have them
People still print a lot of pages from GOV.UK. And recent discussions have highlighted potential problems, or at least a perception that HTML pages when printed aren't as good as PDFs. We're trying to move away from/discourage the use of PDFs on GOV.UK, so improving the print experience could help.
