I have a similar bug. As of 4/18/20 printer settings were working fine as I was able to print out something just fine. Trying to print from Android or Ubuntu now all have the same error of a blank page with a header, a page trying to cram all of the information onto one page that will display more of the page on that one piece of paper if the scale is lowered, and a final blank page with a footer.

Well, the file you provided generates ~302 pages on translate.google.com for me so far... and after ten minutes there's still a throbber saying "translating..." so it's hard to diagnose what the problem is since the document isn't completed...
Do you get the same error with a smaller document?

Hello,

I have attached a smaller file, 56 pages, but the file is a lot smaller.

I'm able to reproduce this with the smaller file. It doesn't print anything more than the first page. Google Translate seems to generate a bunch of inline <span> that contain absolutely positioned <div> in an effort to try to replicate the original PDF's layout.

Mats: I suppose the inline elements are the issue?

No, this is a dupe of bug 267029.
It looks like every line of translated text is put into markup that looks like this:

<font size="3" face="Times" color="#2e7cbe">
  <span style="font-size:13px;font-family:Times;color:#2e7cbe">
    <div style="position:absolute;top:3520;left:174">
      <nobr>
        <a href="#49">Conventions</a>
        <font color="#ff8200"><a href="#49">.............................................................................................................................................</a></font>
        <a href="#49">49</a>
      </nobr>
    </div>
  </span>
</font>

(I think that bug 267029 is probably more important to fix than the huge inline-block issue.)
