taking out of mac triage (printing folks: do you do a regular triage for component: Internals>Printing? - we would like to take it out of Mac-specific triage - thanks!)

Yes - we're triaging Internals>Printing and UI>Browser>PrintPreview regularly now, so feel free to exclude from Mac triage.

jainabhishek, please keep us posted on the repro.

Unfortunately I was not able to get repro steps from users / googler. Also, 
I tried a few URLs shared by users in Feedback but cannot repro this bug.

However, we can connect with users on Forum where users are talking about this issue.

Can you tell me what info we need to collect from users ?
Do we have any feedback on whether this problem still occurs in Chrome 56 or 57?

Are there any Googlers who are affected by this that I can chat with offline?

 Issue 696382  has been merged into this issue.
ooh - I've actually experienced this. It was a Windows 10 convertible (surface clone) - pretty low spec. I was about to catch a flight and was madly printing off a bunch of travel documents from pdf email attachments via Inbox. 2 weeks ago. stable channel. so probably m57 (maybe m56). Once in a while I'd get a completely blank print preview - waited a while but it never showed. Pressing Esc and trying again would always work, but it happened for multiple documents.
Update: I tried reproing this again on that low-spec machine without success. It was at Chrome 57.0.2987.133. There were no crashes from the day of my flight - just an OOM from ~4 days later (http://go/crash/5e5cf5df60000000 57.0.2987.110 uptime = 3 days).

I suspect this was a GPU/driver issue. Three times now I've had the OS unable to create menu widgets system-wide (just the shadow gets drawn). This required a reboot, but I was tempted to blame Chrome until trying to open menus in other apps and getting the same result.

It has embedded graphics: device id 0x8086 0x191e Intel(R) HD Graphics 515 (Sky Lake Integrated Graphics).
