So it can indeed be considered a bug in Chromium.
I wouldn't consider it a Chromium bug; the actual bug is in GTK+.
Firefox is just fortunate enough not to be affected by it in any significant way.

Firefox handles printing through GTK+ as well, but calls gtk_enumerate_printers() in a separate thread (or something to that effect) and, therefore, doesn't freeze.

So, Firefox does not rely on CUPS to print PDFs?
No idea, I do not own a printer, therefore no CUPS.
The only reason I use the print function is for "print to file" of cinema tickets purchased online.
As detailed above, if I try to do this in chrome it causes application freeze, but no problem at all with firefox.
(as explained previously, I have obviously not offered this as a "solution", merely a temporary alternative)

]]>I know it's not an answer to your question, but firefox is unaffected.
]]>I try to figure out why my print function in Chromium is not working. When I use CTRL-p to print, Chromium crashes and becomes unresponsive.
However, there is nothing relevant in the shell output:

Did anyone have the same problem?
