How to reset default printer in Chrome?

I had to delete my default printer in Chrome (which was a Google Cloud Printer).

Now my print dialog in Chrome is stuck: enter image description here

It just displays "unknown printer" and the circle of destination runs forever.

I cannot find any settings how to reset this to be able to print again. The removed printer is not in the Google Chrome settings listed and I am not able to select any other printer.

After a few minutes the window crashes.

Finally I found the solution...

open file Preferences in the Chrome Folder (in my case C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome Dev\User Data\Default normally in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default search for printing > recentDestinations and remove the entry in the bracket
