That's not the issue. xchm only supports printing one page at a time, which a cumbersome way to go about printing the entire document to file. There is a box in the print dialogue that you can tick in order to print the entire document. However, it doesn't work. I've just stumble upon a similar task. The way I went is decompiling chm with archmage into separate html files, concatenating the ones I need into one with cat, and cleaning the result up with a simple perl script (below). Printing an html file is another problem (it's not that easy to print 2Mb of html text)...
