Print test page button #85

Description

There are 3 differnet methods available that relate to printing documents in the Export VM:

usb-test (preflight without disk-test since we don't need to test a disk here)
printer-test
printer (see https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-export/#devices)

printer-test prints a test page and we currently don't have a place in the client for doing this.

I'm hesitant to prioritize this, as it feels like a very tangential feature. As the only power-user of treeware on the SD team, I've only ever printed a test page when looking for a network IP address or seeking to test the media of a printer.

I'd rather we go into the Pilot w/o this feature, and to ask participants if they'd find it to be useful. Closing, for now, only to get it off the radar; entirely open to re-opening, if discussion merits, later on down the road.
