Seems you are using V2.0, where printing is not yet implemented in QtWebEngine.

@cranes-bill it is.

Qt WebEngine is now based on Chromium 49 and can now print to PDF

Those are 5.7 release notes.
Look up QWebEnginePage::printToPdf()

It doesn't have nice preview utilities though. If we add printing now, it will be simple dialog with file name input field and maybe button which pops up QPageSetupDialog with margin/orientation/format preferences.
What do you think about this, @nowrep ?

I also miss the printing (to PDF) feature of V<2.0 -- it was better than what could be found in other browsers -- although I understand that we have to wait until QWebEngine gets richer in features.

Any print facility would be good, even the most rudementary. Perhaps a simple print to PDF>Open file in default PDF reader (if possible)? Almost the same as print preview.

Printing should now work in master, see pull request #2068 and commit b9bd233.

Yes, it does; thanks!

Printing isn't as good as that of older, webkit-based versions -- due to qtwebengine's problems, I guess -- but it's good for now :)
