[SOLVED] Browser not printing PDF

Hello,

arch/KDE

I'm using vivaldi as the default PDF app, and now I can't print PDF files from it. When clicking Print the browser does nothing and seems to freeze. The same happenes with chromium and google chrome. I tried the system printing dialog (Ctrl-Shift-P) which is dispkayed but immediately freezes too. Gwenview prints the file w/o problems. What might be the problem?

TIA

Got the same issue, but on Gnome with the "Document Viewer" (Paper) [the app to see PDFs]

When I try to print the printer are not discovered and I got the Is not Responding Window

I didn't try to downgrade CUP yet as https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=310490 said, I may just wait for an update fix.
