Running 2017-06-03 Nightly on Windows 10. e10s enabled. Loaded a 4 page PDF document using built-in PDF viewer (pdf.js I reckon). Went to print document. Progress box appears for number of pages processed. (I think this is sending pages to some OS primitive - it's not measuring pages as they physically come out of the printer.) If I close the PDF document's tab before the print request finishes, that progress bar stalls for several seconds and eventually goes away without issuing any error. Not all pages are physically printed. If I had to guess what's going on, it would be that the document is being released when I close the tab and the printing subsystem is no longer able to obtain/send data to be printed. I have no clue if this is a regression: I rarely print things. As an end user: * I'm surprised at the behavior of partially printing documents if I close a tab. I shouldn't have to wait for printing to spool before closing a tab. * I'm surprised there is no error that the print request wasn't completely fulfilled.
