Hi,

I didn't spread FUD, consider to read my complete email.

"this issue from 2021 might be related:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1260603/how-can-i-print-from-the-snap-packaged-version-of-firefox
"

"Reset Firefox printer settings: http://mzl.la/1BAQqop

 Click on the “hamburger menu” button. (Alternatively, open
 about:support.)
 Click on “Help” and select “More Troubleshooting Information”.
 On the Troubleshooting Information page, go down to “Printing
 section”.
 Click on “Clear saved print settings”.

This will remove all modified (incompatible) print settings in Firefox
(most likely inherited trough the former profile settings)."

I replied to a thread containing the word "Firefox". The word "snap"
wasn't mentioned at all.

I informed the OP about a transitional package and asked the OP to
mention the

- ""renewed UBUNTU" release"
- "How does the OP try to print?
What happens when printing fails? Maybe there's a warning or error
message. Actually we can only guess. Maybe it doesn't print, because the
ink cartridge is empty ;)."

This is what probably many Ubuntu users will do soon.

Actually you didn't provide less help than I did.
