It does seem like this is driver-specific, so I will set as S3 for now. Unable to reproduce on macOS 10.15.7 with my HP printer locally.

Does this reproduce with the old print UI?

Hey Sean, sorry for the late response, tried now reproducing the issue, but it seems that it has somehow been fixed (maybe some updates to mac11) or from Firefox. Tried on 84.0b4 and 85.0a1 (23-11-2020) and it printed the file wirelessly as expected. I think we are safe for now here.
