With further development the size of print job get comparable size of Firefox and IE

We have many Problem with printing in Chrome. The print jobs were getting smaller with Task Issue 620738, not much but better. Now we check the current Chrome Canary Version 57 and notice that the size of the print jobs increases again. We test it with Chrome 55, and the print job size is ~80mb and with Chrome 57 the size is  ~110mb.

I did other tests end it getting even worse from ~14mb to ~75mb.

This is intentional due to  bug 658606 . Many the bugs for big print jobs are still open so there is no need to file new bugs.

And as of r432052, you can use --enable-gdi-text-printing to get the smaller print job sizes, at the risk of potential bad print outs.
