I did some digging, found its not possible, because docs.google is going to be a different domain from yours. I tried this,

document.querySelector('iframe').contentWindow.print()

and got 'Blocked a frame with origin "http://mydomain" from accessing a cross-origin frame.'.

Lets say, even if google allowed cross domain, the print function wont work. because google docs viewer opens another window for printing.

I've reached a conclusion that google devs have smartly made this not possible.
