 * Per-printer view preferences for the printer card.
 *
 * These are browser-local, like every other printer-page view preference
 * (`printerCardSize`, `hideDisconnectedPrinters`, `printerCollapsedSections`).
 * They describe how one person wants their own screen to look, not anything
 * about the printer, so they deliberately do not go to the backend.
 *
 * Keyed by printer id rather than held as a single global flag: the toggle
 * lives on the card itself, so hiding the external spool on one printer must
 * not silently rearrange every other card in a fleet.
