I added the above code snippet to the stock Fiddle and could not reproduce.

To try and repro, I:

Ran the Fiddle
Clicked "print me"
Clicked "Save as PDF" and saved the PDF
Clicked back into the iframe and tried to load another page, which loaded successfully

So i'm not sure what you're experiencing in terms of the page ostensibly freezing. I also tried to print again, and could successfully.

Also seeing this on 19.0.12.

As a workaround, we're removing the iframes, printing, then restoring the iframes.

const iframes = Array.from(document.querySelector('iframe')).map(i => {
    const parent = iframe.parentElement
    const before = {
        iframe,
        parent,
        nextSibling: iframe.nextSibling
    }
    parent?.removeChild(iframe)
    return before;
})
window.print()
iframes.forEach(i => {
    const {
        iframe,
        parent,
        nextSibling
    } = i
    if (nextSibling) {
        parent.insertBefore(iframe, nextSibling)
    } else {
        parent.appendChild(iframe)
    }
})

Same as before: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/35119#issuecomment-1200968238

Cannot reproduce on macOS. Given this has been open for a long time and I've never been able to reproduce this i'm closing it out but if someone can provide a repro i can re-open.
