Need "Send to printer" button

[aplab]

How to send a screenshot directly to the printer?
Need button 🖶 Print
It would be cool to add a print button to the toolbar.
When you press the "print" button, the image is saved in tmp and the standard print dialog opens.

I changed the title to eliminate confusion with printscreen button on keyboard.

My opinion is this is complexity I don't really want to take on. I suggest saving the file and manually printing or hitting "open in external app" and printing from there.

If someone else wants to investigate this: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtprintsupport-index.html potentially we can discuss adding it, but I can just imagine many bug reports relating to printing that have nothing to do with flameshot. Also we would need to solve how to print with the confinement in snapcraft / flatpak.

Overall I am not opposed to the feature existing, I just think it could have a high maintenance burden.

@borgmanJeremy what do you mean with ##"hitting "open in external app"## i cannot find that button in the flameshot gui. I would consider this as a good feature to select a button for a default image viewer (or an option to select an image viewer to use)
edit:
i found the button in the beta 11 - but does not work in windows see #1868
