using selenium to interact with popup print dialogue box not working

I am trying to interact(set options like page size etc) on a print dialogue box that pops up after hitting a print button on a webpage. My attempt at the code is :

win_before = driver.current_window_handle
driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'/html/body/div/div/div1/div/div/main/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/button').click() # clicks the print button on webpage
time.sleep(2)
popup = 0
for handle in driver.window_handles:
   if handle != win_before:
      popup = handle
      break
driver.switch_to.window(popup)
time.sleep(5)
elem = driver.execute_script("return document.querySelector('print-preview-app')")
print(elem.get_attribute('innerHTML'))

at this point since the program has switched to the popped up dialogue box window , we should be able to interact with elements within the box using selenium methods but i have had no success. So i switched to using query selector this way and i still cannot locate any elements.
Html of the print dialogue box

Have you tried using alerts, it could be that the new window is an alert and swap to this something like Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert(); instead of a browser window. If it is a browser element you could try Actions or javascript to move to the element before clicking and working with this element. Sorry if this isn't what you need - hope this helps.
