I can confirm this. I am also using Chromium and cannot access the web admin interface of my printer, via
http://HP18602408C229.local/
In Firefox this works.
Same for the snap I am working on, to provide CUPS and cups-browsed in a snap:
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/printing-stack-snap/
cups-browsed is also not able to resolve ".local" host names if the host is in the local network but not the local machine, exactly as Chromium.
So it seems to be a problem for snapped applications in general.
