A static print unavailable fallback shows Print unavailable, browser menu fallback, summary still visible, and No print started status.

Program

Print fallback notices should show what remains available when printing is unavailable without starting print behavior.

step flow step(1) labels the source, step(2) shows print availability, step(3) shows fallback and summary rows, step(4) shows no-print-started status, step(5) checks the fallback readback, and step(6) checks the honesty note.

fallback readback The section heading names the print fallback surface.

fallback rows Print, Fallback, Summary, and Status values are exact pinned data.
