Hi,
I have the same issue as well, on two different boxes (ubuntu 22.04)
with two different printers (HP & Samsung).
The printers show up in "system" settings. The Firefox snap is able to
print correctly, it is connected to cups-control (not cups as the
Chromium snap).
Here's the relevant outputs:
------------------------
user@box:~$ lpstat -v
device for HP_DeskJet_3630_series_91ACE7:
implicitclass://HP_DeskJet_3630_series_91ACE7/
user@box:~$ lpstat -p
printer HP_DeskJet_3630_series_91ACE7 is idle. enabled since Tue 12 Sep 2023

user@box:~$ cups.lpstat -v

user@box:~$ cups.lpstat -p

I have setup native cups in the distant past in large enterprise
networks, but the snap plug-slot system is new to me. I'm happy to help
fix this. Please let me know if you need any further info or assistance.
Cheers

Title:
Printer is not available in chromium snap
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My printer is not available in chromium. I had the same problem in firefox
but fixed it with the following command:
sudo snap connect firefox:cups-control
However this did not work with the chromium snap. I got the following
error:
snap "chromium" has no plug named "cups-control"
My printer is a network printer and is automatically detected by my
Kubuntu install. It works out of the box with all native apps and
flatpaks.
