1. Start Draw.io
2. Click on 'Create New Diagram'
   3.Click on 'Blank Diagram', then 'Create'
3. Add shape - expand 'General', then click on 'Rectangle'
4. Click on document background to deselect any objects
5. Set Paper Size to 'US-Letter...' in 'Diagram' tab
6. Select 'Print' from 'File' menu
7. Click on 'OK'

Expected behavior
Printing, either to printer, or to file, should function.

Can you print to file?

Can you print to file?

I can't get far enough to select that option - program locks up immediately after print dialog pops up. This is still happening after upgrades through 24.4.0.

I can't repeat this. I'll leave it open, but unless someone with the right environment can repeat and wants to investigate, it's very unlikely to be looked at.

[jonathanhirschman]

I can investigate 😄

I uninstalled the deb package previously installed:
$ sudo dpkg -P draw.io

I reinstalled:
$ sudo dpkg -i ./drawio-amd64-24.4.13.deb

Running the app from the command line:
$ drawio Checking for beta autoupdate feature for deb/rpm distributions Found package-type: deb

Then placed a shape and attempted to print to PDF:
Crashing due to FD ownership violation: #0 0x59076d8e8b03 <unknown> #1 0x59076d8e0c0c <unknown> #2 0x59076d8e0bc7 close #3 0x7d49d4694ef3 <unknown>

FYI. I have some print functionality from the community flatpak version, but it's old. Snap version doesn't see printers at all.

I did some more research. The issue is related to Electron and networked printers (which is what I use): electron/electron#31151

FYI, and probably explains why you cannot reproduce.

Thanks for the research, it does indeed look like electron/electron#31151.
