Print Widget - Include more text options for layout.  Users would like to have more flexibility in adding and formatting text in the default ESRI print widget. Currently, there is no way to change fonts, sizes, colors and configuration is limited to short inputs in preformatted fields. A text box option would be good. If this isn't an option, the addition of a Disclaimer text preformatted field would be a welcome addition. To take this idea further, a web-based print layout designer in AGO/Portal would be great. Folks should not have to create, publish and host their own print service in order to make substantial print layout design changes and most lack the expertise required to do so.

I think printing can be a very painful process to setup, as the way reports and layouts have to be configured and published can seem very complex to people who are use to just making change sin a Windows or online app, and then it go right to a printer when printed.

The pain you describe I think is real.  I also think its not easy to 'get' the ARcGIS way of printing too.
