Printing from chrome/chromium browser

Printing functions fine from Libre Office, text files, etc. Chrome/Chromium, on the other hand, appears to be quite fickle. On websites with a print function, whether for an article or a recipe ( :wink:), all I get is silence.

Searching on the web, I see many others who are having the same issue. What does the collective wisdom of ITā€™S FOSS know about this issue?

Be good to hear what others say, but to make it work i have done a copy/paste into LO or save as to get it there, then printed it ok

Why donā€™t you try FireFox!?

Try and get another version of CUPS

Does the Chromium-based browser show an option to use the system dialogue?
If there is, why donā€™t you try that?

Everytime (or nearly) I try to print from Google Chrome, on Linux - it defaults to PDF outputā€¦ And sometimes I think my printerā€™s disappeared, it takes few clicks and hitting ā€œadvancedā€ before I can point it at my CUPS queue for my main physical hard copy printerā€¦ PITAā€¦

Maybe it does not matter but just curious, which distro are you using and how did you install Chrome?

Linux Mint, using the ungoogled-chromium flatpak.
