Wireless Printing Issues, Printers Not Visible In Print Dialogs
After Update to stable-41.20250317 Wireless Printers stop appearing in printer dialogs entirely. Rebasing to stable-41.20250315 restores functionality in GTK4 Flatpak apps and all non-Flatpak apps including AppImage, stand alone binaries, and layered packaged. All flatpaks that use a different xdg desktop portal backend, qt, gtk, cosmic, etc, can not see printers. Attempts to provide appropriate permissions through Flatseal on an app per app basis has no effect. Some GTK4 Flatpak apps can see wireless printers but fail to print. All availible stable images I have tested, going back to stable-41.20241210 appear to suffer the same issue in regard to Flatpak applications. Issue was not present as of October-November of 2024 as far as I can recall.
Current known work around:
• Rebase to stable-41.20250315
• Open print dialog in an app that can see the wireless printer and click the printer to "Get(ting) Printer Information"
• Return to app that cannot see wireless printer
• Printer will now availible in print dialog until logout or reboot
