Steps to reproduce:

Printing in 38 or 39 (tested firefox-39.0b1.tar.bz2) fails.

This is a regression as it used to work find in Firefox 37.



Actual results:

Fails to print / spool the job to the printer.

Expected results:

Should have printed. I verified the underlying system's CUPS is configured, by spooling a job successfully via lpr.
This is an issue on Debian 8.0 32 bit linux. I have narrowed down the bug to the point I only changed the browser from https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-XXXX-SSL&os=linux to narrow it down.
1. Does it also fail in the latest Nightly in a brand new profile?

2. Does Print Preview work?

3. Are there any relevant errors in the Browser Console?

4. Could you find the regression range? Last 37 Nightly is dated 2015-01-12 (03-02-01). First 38 Nightly is dated 2015-01-12 (12-38-47).

Apologies for the trouble. I believe I've narrowed down the problem, to our Webconverger extension breaking from 37-38. https://github.com/Webconverger/webconverger-addon/issues/56

Did something change about printing on Linux?

In particular that it does something in content or requires access to a new chrome URL?

With WebExtensions being the only valid way of doing extensions in Firefox 57, I don't think this bug is still relevant.
