Offer a "Print as image" option for all the printers

[pacho2]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A problem we hit from time to time is that, for some PDFs, our printer prints wrong characters or, even, nothing at all. This problem is workarounded choosing the "Print as image" option offered by the Google Chrome PDF viewer (the same exists for Adobe Reader on other platforms). Sadly, it is not widely implemented on other PDF readers

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if, under the general printer options (those allowing to choose the paper size, duplex, error policy...) an option to "Print as image" would be available.

Describe alternatives you've considered
For now I rely on Google Chrome PDF reader as a workaround.

Thanks a lot

FWIW, CUPS will already re-send the job as raster images (PWG or Apple raster depending on the printer) if the printer reports a problem printing characters. However, if the printer doesn't detect that there are rendering issues then that won't happen...

What model printer are you using?
