[Bug]: LMWC: 3.7.8 Trying to print in EPSG: 2193 results in flipped coordinates/failed map?

[timbo-barnes]

What is the bug? (in English)

My existing projects in LMWC 3.6.3 worked fine using the 'old' basemap method- Users could use the normal print dialogue to print a custom map or an Atlas map. Maps are in New Zealand Transverse Mercator (2193) including the base layers (WMTS)

Now in 3.7.8, I can't print using the print button (atlas prints work fine)- It appears the dataframe is somehow flipped so eastings are northings and northings are eastings which, obviously, positions the dataframe somewhere completely different. This happens if using a basemap layer (within the new basemap group), a basemap WMTS outside the group as a normal layer, or with no basemap at all (just trying to print vectors in 2193)

Steps to reproduce the issue

Setup a project in NZ Transverse Mercator (EPSG: 2193), add some layers and a layout.
Try and print using the print button.

QGIS Server : 3.30.3

We do not recommend any non LTR version, QGIS 3.30 is not supported anymore. Can you try on latest QGIS Server 3.34, thanks.
I think we already got a similar issue which has been fixed.

Ok thanks for the feedback- Is the server version confirmed to be causing it? Or just something to check on the way to fixing it? (The reason I ask is that its taken many months to get Lizmap +QGIS Server upgraded and may be difficult to get server upgraded)

I don't know. According to the QGIS roadmap, your versions are out dated for more than a year now. A lot of commits have landed in the QGIS source code in between.

Ok I've updated server version to 3.38.0 and still get the same issue...I think its due to Easting Northing order within the CRS (maybe particular to Southern Hemisphere CRS compared to Northern, or particular to NZTM) not being taken into account or assumed to be Easting-Northern.
This seems to be a regression as printing was working fine for me before I upgraded

Examining the coordinate order for EPSG 2193 is Northing first then Easting:

CS[Cartesian,2],
    AXIS["northing (N)",north,
        ORDER[1],
        LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],
    AXIS["easting (E)",east,
        ORDER[2],
        LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],

Examining it for, say EPSG 3943 is Easting then Northing
(used in the test maps which do print succesfully here: https://demo.snap.lizmap.com/lizmap_3_7/index.php/view/map?repository=testsrepository&project=print_in_project_projection)

CS[Cartesian,2],
    AXIS["easting (X)",east,
        ORDER[1],
        LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],
    AXIS["northing (Y)",north,
        ORDER[2],
        LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],
