Re: brave browser cannot print.
Someone off-list suggested vivaldi which looks closer to what I want a
browser to be - many/most things being configurable (and much closer to
what firefox used to be) so I'm probably going to stop using brave.
However, I've replied inline below to the questions.
(printing works in vivaldi too)

This machine is using cups. The printer is on a remote host. Everything
else seems to work, openoffice, firefox, chrome. Just brave having this
problem.
Looks like a problem with Brave and not the printing system. The remote
host is running CUPS? What is the make and model of the attached printer?
Anybody got any ideas? I'm using xfce on buster for this at the moment.
Please give 'lpstat -t' and 'lpinfo -v' on the client machine.

Does the Brave print dialog have a "Print using system dialogue..."
entry in its settings?
I think it does but it does nothing. I suspect I don't have the relevant
package installed. (Not in front of the machine right now to check the
UI)
Tim.
