Disable printing "Headers and Footers" in Chrome for Domain users

Reported by pante...@ufx.com, Aug 29 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.113 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Ctrl+P to print a page
2. Untick "Headers and footers" option
3. Change margins to custom to save the option

What is the expected behavior?
Remove headers and footers when printing from Gmail or webpages

What went wrong?
Unable to set this via GPO or other method across all Enterprise domain users; no option available. Also I have not been successful in setting the option in the "master_preferences" file in order to distribute with new installations. 

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.113  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0

If this is just to set the user defaults, it should be do-able. To enforce the setting, e.g. "headers and footers" cannot be turned on would be much more work.

We can probably generalize this to a dictionary to hold all default print settings, not just headers/footers.

In the master_preferences file on the chrome-admins forum, the isHeaderFooterEnabled dictionary entry is probably not in the right dictionary.

If you define the set of settings one might wish to be able to set through policy and they are already backed up by regular Chrome prefs it should be relatively straightforward to define the policies for them. Happy to help you wire that up but I will need a short doc with description what can we control and how the settings should look like (from a prefs/policy point of view).
Print preview saves into prefs in chrome/browser/ui/webui/print_preview/sticky_settings.cc, but the data actually comes from chrome/browser/resources/print_preview/data/app_state.js.

This looks like a duplicate of  bug 785242 , which is fixed now. Try the PrintHeaderFooter policy.
