On the new AppImage I can see all hardware printers (see attached images) but the printing does not produce output. I checked on the Subsurface download site and got AppImage 4.5.1-1600. There it is the same as on 4.6.3 : can only select PDF and cannot see print hardware.

So at least we know it's not a new regression - which makes me a lot less worried :-)

So on Ubuntu you can only print to PDF. I think that's a flaw that we can live with.
