Relevant log output
Yes, normal printing from a user's view works as expected, just the preview in the admin center is broken now.
Ok, the issue seems, that now somehow there is no output provided when running with a worker in the print response. Therefore the [object object] we were seeing is just the print response itself, as the code thinks thats a pdf.
https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/blob/9729c41783a24a0fae14001a6396e383ce5c6add/src/frontend/src/components/editors/TemplateEditor/PdfPreview/PdfPreview.tsx#L53-L61
Oh right because we background the print job now - https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/pull/9199
So the template editors will need to monitor the printing status and display the output when it completes... Didn't think of that.
There is a hook available which provides this full functionality. Perhaps you might have time to implement this fix?
