By "the same thing" you mean a print menu, right?

That's the expected, in Webkit/Blink-based browsers, for which Google Docs printing "just works". It doesn't "just work" in Firefox, though, as shown by the print-preview rendering in my screenshot in comment 2 (notice the weird horizontal line across the page).

We're ultimately fixing that in bug 1521655, but in the meantime, Google Docs intends to only feed us server-side-generated PDF files for "print" actions.  This bug is just documenting one case where they're accidentally not doing that.
