Thank you for that COPR repository.
I think using SNAPs on Fedora is wrong. I don't like what snaps do with
mounted filesystems and consider flatpak more appropriate replacement.
But flatpak wants to isolate application from the system. Those apps
require to integrate into the system on the other hand.
I assume from provided explanation that printer apps needs direct access
to USB ports and therefore are not good candidate for placing into some
kind of container. It needs a direct access to the host hardware,
therefore it belongs to the system. Or is it possible to forward just
limited sets of of USB devices into a container?
Could perhaps alternative package with unreleased snapshots be provided?
That would allow packaging required printer apps, which cannot use
stable versions. Should be module considered for applications and new
version of cups filters?

- Till Kamppeter wrote printer applications which covers all printer
drivers in Debian distribution - we don't have any additional printer
driver package in Fedora, so all our driver packages are covered as well
Since there were some questions the last time this came up, see
this[0] gnome-control-center upstream discussion for how printer
applications may be integrated into the desktop environment printer
configuration.
- printer applications (the solution for driver-only printers how to
work with IPP-only CUPS) are available as SNAPs in Fedora (feel free
to try them and leave feedback at the respective OpenPrinting project
https://github.com/orgs/OpenPrinting/repositories ), packaging them
as RPMs is blocked due dependency on cups-filters 2.0, which is not
released yet (though IIRC someone from Fedora community - maybe
Brandon Nielsen - has them in copr)
That would be me[1], though I haven't been giving them the attention
they need lately.
