why does my phone Android Firefox just find my wifi Epson printer and just goes, and my Linux in both Cups and Gnome just fails to do what is effortless on Android?

It's a flatpack. For some reason, the Firefox flatpack has to have the debus enabled every time it's opened, or else it can't see any printer.
Especially if there's an update when it's running.

@souldessin I don't understand.What does Flatpack have to do with Android or printers?
@souldessin oh, I see. my main complaint is that neither cups nor gnome can seem to get the printer right
@worldsendless
It's more that Firefox hasn't added the needed d-bus access to see the system printers on Linux. There's a whole long-running bug report. The only workaround on Linux is to enable the user d-bus with flatseal every update or start.
A right P.I.T.A. for those that have to print a lot. I've gone so far as to load the system package.
