Touching Save to Google Drive might have triggered the work-around.

See my attached screen record.
Note how I get immediate
   This printer isn't available right now.
followed by 
   Preparing preview...
followed quickly by 
   This printer isn't available right now.
then blank.
I touch Save as PDF, then back to Save to Google Drive, and it generates the preview properly.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

p.s. Also, you're using a Pixel 2 XL, whereas I'm using a Pixel (Sailfish).
And yes, as I reported initially, the problem is 100% reproducible for me.
But only on long pages. Otherwise it does work normally, although messages are strange -- see attached screen record of previewing this web page.

I can repro this issue, looks like there were something wrong in onWrite() stage from my log, I'll take a deeper look.

re: comment 13 - Please file a separate bug report for your problem, instead of commenting on vaguely related issues.

This bug only repro on P, I believe this is a framework issue. From my investigation, the issue is related to the weak file lock, maybe a deadlock in printspooler?

When bug happens, we have only this line after onWriteFinished() call:

When it behaves normal, we have:

Filed b/117124112 for internal tracking, closing this one in favor of the internal bug.

Au contraire -- the problem is also 100% reproducible on the Nexus 5X (bullhead) running Android 8.1 -- see attached video.

john.navas@, thanks for that information, I can confirm that on Nexus 5X.

This is not a Chrome printing issue so this is not the right place to track it. We identified an Android framework issue, we also believe that Google Drive printer introduced issue recently (which the framework didn't anticipate before). We are addressing this issue on both Android framework side and Google Drive printer side.
