Add print breakpoint

Feature Request

What is the desired behavior?

Add a standard breakpoint for the print media query.

What is the use-case or motivation for the desired behavior?

Many apps need to show things only when printing or saving to pdf.

<span fxHide fxShow.print>Printer specific info</span>
<span>Regular content</span>

Is there anything else we should know?

I know you can setup a custom breakpoint for this but I hope it is common enough to be included standard. For business apps people tend to print pages a lot and often need some extra info or some things hidden.

Here are the long awaited replies to this issue.

Problem 1: This can be easily solved by adding a matchMedia listener on the print event (ie matchMedia.addListener('print') or whatever the correct syntax is

Problem 2: As of beta 22 you can now specify priority for breakpoints, meaning you can specify that the print breakpoints always override the defaults.

That being said, as discussed here, we’re going to implement this as a config, where turning on the config adds a print listener, and overrules the media activations during print (ie until print breakpoint deactivation). The config would allow a developer to specify a breakpoint to activate (which could include a custom breakpoint). Without objection, I’m going to fold this into #603 to track the work moving forward.
