Printing to file should be extremely restricted, like #306 and only allow writing to certain pre-approved locations.
qz.configs.create({file: 'foo/bar.txt'});// -- OR --cfg.setPrinter({file: 'foo/bar.txt'});
Considerations
This technique is still somewhat popular for writing to a UNC path. e.g. \\print-server\printer-share\my printer. We should consider allowing non-loopback UNC paths. Detecting a non-loopback can be tricky. e.g. \\127.0.0.1\, \\COMPUTER\\, as well as IPv6 variants. This may make UNC too difficult to support. A decision must be made on UNC paths.
Add a deprecation warning immediately for this feature, since it needs to be removed or inhibited. (Done via 80bd7ae)
It may be viable to alias this to a convenience wrapper around FileIO writing. That way the existing FileIO whitelisting techniques can be reused.
As a replacement to users using this feature, we'd may offer instructions for setting up a file-printer. This varies per-platform.
Use Cases
I believe existing deployments fall into the the following three use-cases.
A shortcut to print raw to a UNC share
See consideration above about possibly keeping UNC path support
Testing/troubleshooting raw content
This can be mitigated by adding instructions for setting up a RAW file printer
Uh oh!
