Default printer doesn't appear in Destination choices when I right-click a webpage and select Print

Browser Support
1

Current Brave v1.76.74
Linux (Pop!OS based on Ubuntu) 22.04 LTS

Each time I’m on a webpage and I right-click my mouse on it to print that page, and I select “Print”, I only have the option to “Save to PDF”. When I click on the drop-down arrow, no other options appear. In Chrome, my default printer automatically shows up as my first print option and I can click on the drop-down button and switch to Save as pdf if I wish. Can Brave not be configured that way? If it can, please share your script to help me add it! Thanks.

I have the same problem, @fmarier

Versión 1.77.95 Chromium: 135.0.7049.52 (Official build) (64 bits)
Flatpak installed from Software Store at Linux Mint 22.1
No extensions installed
Brother HL-1200 printer connected on USB working well
All other applications print well (Calc, Writer, Chrome)

The only workaround via terminal is:
flatpak override --user --device=all com.brave.Browser
