Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in Gnome Web 3.38.3: open a PDF, invoke print, select a valid printer, and confirm that nothing happens. Compare this with printing the saved file from Document Viewer and check the application's printing and permission behavior. Done means PDF files opened in Web print successfully without requiring a save-and-print workaround.

Description
What Happened
When a PDF file is opened inside Web, and the print feature is used, the file cannot be printed. There are no error messages -- after I select a valid printer and press print nothing happens. If I save the file and print from Document Viewer, it can be successfully printed. Permission for 'Printing -- access printers' is already granted in Settings-> Applications-> Permissions.
Expected Behavior
The document should be printed correctly
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a PDF document in Web
- Press print
- Nothing happens
