Opera Doesn't See Printers

Looking for some help. I've added the Opera .rpm repo to Fedora, and everything works perfectly, except no matter what I do, the browser won't see my printer. The same goes for Chrome browser also.

I've tried with a fresh clean install (no extensions, default flags, etc.) or with my flags and extension customized, doesn't matter.

Here is what' I've tried so far:
ensure that I ran

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service

Checked to see if core/system apps can print. Yes, no issue seeing the printer in system settings, Gnome Document Viewer, or other core apps.

Installed Firefox from Opera repos, no issue finding the printer or printing from Firefox.

Installed Opera from flatpak - This version has no problem finding the printer or printing, but will not allow for playback of any DRM content. So no Spotify in the sidebar, bitmovin DRM test fails instantly, no streaming. Obviously some issue with Widevine/ffmpeg here.

Installed HPlip and added the printer through there (rather than just cups) and no change at all.

I'd really like to be able to print directly from the browser, and not have to download a document, picture, etc. and print it from the system apps....or use another browser entirely. Someone help please!
