Title:
Chromium - printer unavailable - apparmor denial
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Snap chromium loads fine but when I open print preview window and
select a USB connected printer and on the left I get a message that
the printer is unavailable for all installed printers. Syslog shows
the following error below. If I select the PDF printer, I get a print
preview as expected. If I install chromium from a 3rd party repo, I do
not have this problem and printing works.

I tried creating an override profile for apparmor but ran into
additional errors that prevented Chromium from loading so I gave up on
that.
I think if we can add the following to the snap.chromium.chromium
apparmor profile this would resolve the issue - /etc/cups/ppd/* path
so all files inside are allowed to read as well as /var/spool/cups/*.
If you have a working profile override that I can drop in with the two
paths I can try that.
