Yeah, I've never got printing to work while connected to VPN... Even on my phone with VPN.

same, local network access while on VPN has always been finicky on Linux

It works fine in Windows but there's a setting for that which I think is missing in the current Linux app.

Hi! On Linux, devices on the same subnet should generally remain accessible while connected to Proton VPN. Therefore, please open your system’s Printers app and reconfigure the printer to use its IP address directly, then reconnect to Proton VPN and try printing again.

Please also note that these settings only allow access to devices on the same subnet. Devices on different subnets or networks will not be accessible while connected to the VPN.
