I'm having a similar problem.
It worked on December 4th, I'm not sure when It stopped working.
I'm just trying to print the current tab with a browser action
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
window.print();
It used to bring up the standard print dialog, then when you pressed
print or enter on the dialog it would print the current tab, now it
seems to just print my blank background.html - On Windows, nothing
happens, on Linux it spits out a blank page from the printer. But
last week it worked perfectly fine. It appears that the script is
being run on the wrong page (background.html rather than the current
tab)
Unless I'm missing something.
