You have to restart Chrome after having changed the Preferences file.  Also, I think you might need to edit the Preferences file while Chrome isn't running, in case Chrome writes to Preferences on shutdown.

Strange.  For you, setting "printing: enabled" to "false" does nothing, while for me it disables the Print menu item.  But it *should* remove the entry entirely.  So I guess you're sort of reproducing my bug, but even worse?

Tested this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 and unable to reproduce the scenario.

These are the steps followed 
1. Changed preferences file present at path ..\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences by adding "printing": {"enabled": false}, line when chrome was not running.
2. Saved the file and restarted chrome.
3. Opened a chrome and right clicked on it.
4. Print option is present in the context menu.

Observations:
---------------
After step 3, when we look at the Preference file. the added line ""printing": {"enabled": false}," was got removed.

can anyone from the print team would look into this issue ???
Removing the bisect label for now, please add it when we have the repro steps.

Thank You...

Requesting printing team to please have a look into this issue.

Thanks...!!

khym.chanur@ could you please try the issue once on latest stable 58.0.3029.81 and update the thread if the issue still persists.

Thanks,

I went as far back as Chromium 47, and when printing.enabled is set to false, the "Print..." context menu has always been visible but grayed out. So I don't believe the "Did this work before? Yes" portion of the original bug report is accurate. Thus I don't believe this is a regression. If it really is a regression, please let us know what was the last version that actually worked.

Assuming it's not a regression, I'm inclined to not fix this. Really, what's the harm in having a visible, but grayed out context menu item? We show it for Forward as well, even when the browser cannot go forward.

As there is no action on this issue for long time closing this issue. Request you to update your Chrome to latest #66.0.3359.181 and verify. Feel free to file a new issue if the issue is still reproduced at your end.

Thanks!
