[SOLVED] Can't print from chrome, but from command line

Hi there.
I'ḿ trying to configure a printer here. A samsung M2020.

I'm having problems printing from chromium. No errors, the printing work never gets into cups.
Anyway, I can print test pages, and I can print files from command line as a normal user:

$ lpr file.pdf

Someone know whats going on here?

Thank you everyone in advance.

Sorry if my english isn't enough. Just ask if it's not.

What have you done to set it up? Packages, versions, configs, etc

Moving to NC...

Just to make sure, you do have gtk3-print-backends installed don't you?  That is required to print from gtk applications which I think chromium is.
