It usually takes only a few minutes. The larger the book the longer it might take. Be patient. This prints the book to a PDF file not to your printer.

Possibly, often folks report this output being what they were looking for when working through the conversion wasn't giving them the results expected.

In both cases, the output is a PDF file.
When you print via calibre's viewer, by default it prints to a PDF file using a print driver built into calibre.
