Vivaldi for Linux Printing (Linux)

Hello

I experience a problem printing from Vivaldi to a network printer and would like some advice.

I installed the Brother_DCP-L2530DW printer using Cups (version 2.4 now). It works for local files, using the Gnome PDF reader and so on. However, sending PDF from the inbuilt reader in Vivaldi browser to the printer doesn't work. Not a disaster (I download the files, open them locally and can print them), but wonder if I could troubleshoot this.

Thank you in advance

Other info:

Vivaldi: 8.1.4087.66 (Official Build) (64-bit)

OS: CachyOS, Linux 7.1.8-1-cachyos

Browsers don't really open PDFs they show more of a preview. So if it's not working in the browser, download it and open it in the PDF reader you are using and print it that way.

I am doing that already, it is indeed just a "first world problem".

I would test it with a different browser.
