I'd like to add a warning to people out there (given that you won't stop
installing CUPS):

   It appears that CUPS is re-installed whenever the Chromium snap is
updated!

I consider CUPS an unnecessary security risk for many, especially for
myself as I am using Chromium in a kiosk environment.  I noticed the
other day that CUPS had reappeared, even though my kiosk generator
(KioskForge.org) removes it while making the kiosk.  I have now added
code to try uninstall it whenever snap is asked to refresh its snaps.  I
use the command "snap remove --purge cups".

This is just for those that find this thread and think they just need to
uninstall CUPS once.  It will reappear!

Personally, I think it is a very bad idea to automatically install CUPS
with Chromium.  Why not install a JavaScript IDE in case people feel
like coding in JavaScript now they have a web browser?
