This will switch to the main branch of print_designer and apply the necessary changes to the app.
Anyway, I’ve been using the develop branch without many issues, and if I’m not mistaken, they’re now using Chromium (or at least integrating it), so I would suggest trying develop.
In the end, it depends on each person’s needs and level of trust.
Thanks I followed your commands but now facing error Status: 500.

WARN: shallow_clone is set in your bench config.
However without passing the --reset flag, your repositories will be unshallowed.
To avoid this, cancel this operation and run `bench update --reset`.
Consider the consequences of `git reset --hard` on your apps before you run that.
To avoid seeing this warning, set shallow_clone to false in your common_site_config.json

Issue:
However, I’m facing a problem before with develop version and now with main version — when I click Print on any Sales Invoice or other transaction using the new Print Designer format, it takes around 1–2 minutes to generate the preview which is too long. As per my suggestion it should take less than 5-10 seconds to generate preview.
Are you using the docker deployment. is so make sure you get the application on all the docker containers used by frappe.
then run a migrate
also print designer doesnt use WktHtmlToPDF so you will have to run the post install on all containers as well that should help i think thats all I did extra
