OK. I usually print from evince (GNOME's PDF viewer) on an old computer.
First I printed a couple of pages as PDFs from within evince. Worked fine.

Then I mocked up a small HTML file and looked at it in Firefox and printed
that OK.

I am no expert on snaps. But it _might_ be a snap connections issue.But
here is some hopefully relevant info from my system.
