Description
I am running a print server using the ghostscript-printer-app snap which has multiple hostnames (the mDNS name, print.local, and a local DNS name, print.intra.my.domain). Currently, the web interface and IPP(S) only works when using print.local or the raw IP address, and returns a 400 Bad Request when using print.intra.my.domain.
This should be fixable by running the server with -o host-aliases=print.intra.my.domain, but I can't find any way to set custom command-line flags for the server when running as a snap service. Is there any way to specify command-line flags (or any other way to set the host-aliases option) using the snap?

Research direction
Start by locating the snap service definition and the entry point that assembles the server command, then check how service configuration is exposed to users. Verify the change by configuring a custom host-aliases value through the snap and confirming that the web interface and IPP(S) accept the additional hostname.
