<div class="description">
Send data to selected config for printing.
The promise for this method will resolve when the document has been sent to the printer. Actual printing may not be complete.
<p/>
Optionally, print requests can be pre-signed:
Signed content consists of a JSON object string containing no spacing,
following the format of the "call" and "params" keys in the API call, with the addition of a "timestamp" key in milliseconds
ex. <code>'{"call":"<callName>","params":{...},"timestamp":1450000000}'</code>
