The Problem: All printing options except "Print to File" have disappeared from the print dialog box in Firefox 3 under Linux. Yet inspection of the print configuration options in about:config reveals no obvious changes and furthermore values related to the expected printers are present.
Crude Fix: Add the following line in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file"
This will give access to very minimals command line interface to lpr, which means you must know the printer names and options you wish to invoke. Another fine example of of newer Linux software sacrificing core functionality for superficial improvements in other areas.
