Edge crashes on print via extension
Summary:
We have an extension which registers a printer.
When opening the print dialog, selecting our extension registered printer and clicking "Print", the Edge browser crashes.
Here's a minimal print extension example (not made by me) which reproduces the issue:

Context:
We have created an extension which uses the PrinterProvider API to print a page, and then sends the printed page somewhere. The extension is published in Chrome and Edge stores. It works in Chrome but crashes in Edge.
We found this similar example (which is where we got the example extension).
