I have freshly installed Fedora 38 and found that Google Chrome does not show my network printer (HP ENVY 5530 printer + scanner) in the printing dialog that can be opened with the Chrome Ctrl+P shortcut or via the browser menu. The printer was automatically found and configured by avahi-daemon. I can see it in GNOME Control Center, but there is no printer at the CUPS Web UI (http://localhost:631/printers/). I tried to add the printer manually using the "Add printer" button in GNOME Control Center. It was added successfully to CUPS and also updated in GNOME Control Center. Now I can see the printer in the Google Chrome printing dialog, but there seem to be some driver problems since I can only print in low quality and only in black and white, even though it was different in Chrome. The next step was to disable avahi-daemon completely and add the printer manually using the "Add printer" button in GNOME Control Center. This seemed to fix all the problems with Google Chrome printing. However, I now need to enter the root password every time I try to use the scanner with the simple-scan application. Additionally, I think I will need to reinstall the printer each time its IP address changes. Finally, I found that the cups-browsed service was disabled. So, I removed the manually installed printer, enabled the avahi-daemon service again, and also enabled the cups-browsed service. Now I can see my network printer configured automatically in GNOME Control Center as well as in the CUPS UI. I have my printer as an option in the Google Chrome printing dialog as well, and everything works as expected. I wonder why the cups-browsed service is disabled by default? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use correctly configured network printer. 2. Check that it was added to the gnome-control-center by the avahi-daemon service 3. Check printer at CUPS UI at http://localhost:631/printers/ Actual Results: Printer is configured at gnome-control-center and available for some GNOME apps but not added at CUPS, so it does not available for applications that relies on CUPS. Expected Results: Printer should be configured at both gnome-control-center and CUPS. This is reproducible on freshly installed Fedora 38 Workstation. Enabling cups-browsed service seemed to fix the problem but this service is disabled by the default.
This is Google Chrome bug - the print dialog should be able to see CUPS temporary queue via cupsGetDests2() or cupsGetNamedDest() API. In case you would like to use Chromium, it is affected as well - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123634 . Closing this as NOTABUG, since Google Chrome is not in official Fedora repos.
