Thanks for testing, Catalin. Can you check the pref `print_printer`? If the value is set to "Mozilla Save as PDF" (or if it defaults to that because the value isn't set) then silent printing will go to file instead of to your printer. Most likely it will be saved to `$HOME/mozilla.pdf`. If this is the issue, then you can change the value of `print_printer` to the correct value for your physical printer by turning off silent printing and printing once to that printer (you can cancel the print job immediately if you like). Assuming the value of `print_printer` updates correctly, then once you turn silent printing back on the testcase should work. (At least it works for me on Fedora.)
