Note that in the video 2 bugs are showcased. Both are related to printing. Bug reported here is shown first. The first generated printjob disappears almost immediately and did not result in a physical print. The second generated printjob is properly executed and resulted in a physical print.

Multiple printers installed on system (can be same physical printer but install 1 for network and 1 for USB)
