Classification:UI/Usability Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Unlike iOS, there is no method of printing a WKWebview on OS X. The `print:` method prints, previews and saves (as PDF) blank pages; and `NSPrintOperation` does not correctly print the contents of the view.

On iOS, WKWebView has a viewPrintFormatter property that can be used, which does not exist on OS X.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a `WKWebview` e.g. `WKWebView *webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:.. configuration:...];` etc.

2. Call the `print:` method on the `webView` object, passing either `nil` or `self` for the argument.

Expected Results:
The print dialog appears with the pages showing the contents of the WKWebView instance. Printed pages have the contents showing correctly.

Actual Results:
The print dialog appears with blank pages. Printed pages are blank.

Version:
Xcode Version 7.1.1 (7B1005), OS X 10.11.1 (15B42)
