Chris,

You possibly have installed the flatpak version of GnuCash in which case it
is possibly settings in the flathub support which restrict GnuCash from
accessing the printer. Flatpak is a sandbox which isolates the application
from the OS. One of the developers has been working on getting a flatpak
version downloadable from the GnuCash website but I don't know what the
status is.

This reference from an earlier thread
http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions-reference.html

may be of some assistance.

The original thread dealt with access to mysql
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GNC-Gnucash-Flatpak-3-2-Mysql-issue-tt4703430.html.
There may be some info in some of the other posts in the thread.

I installed the flatpack GnuCash when I first moved to LM19, had problems
and quicklywent back to building my own from sources.  There is also a
repository which has a build of  the latest release of GnuCash (3.4) at 
https://launchpad.net/~sicklylife/+archive/ubuntu/gnucash. It is not
officially part of the GnuCash team but works. After installing the ppa with
the instructions shown there just use 
sudo apt install gnucash 
in a terminal.
