    @... Would Printing honour this if we just added a new input of `WebmapPrintParameters` and passed them on linke Run Report?

    Previously my view was that this was already possible with the Generate Webmap for Report and Run Report activities, so it isn't needed. 

    Run Print is essentially the same activity as Run Report, but with fewer options. Neither activity actually cares whether you are running a print or a report template, so you should be able to pass your desired webmap (from Generate Webmap for Report or your own hand-built one) to Run Report and give it the URL of a print template. Note: there might still be some limitations with Experience Builder here, but that isn't something that would be solved in a Workflow release.

    With the new Printing engine (in v5.23) there are some subtle differences in the webmap JSON accepted, and some fundamentally different REST API endpoints that the operation will hit (it is a GP task now). This requires a bigger rethink of whether we have one Run Print activity that works with both systems, or if it make sense to break them out into their own activities.
