Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to print a page at Firefox at the desktop PC

Actual results:

The printer frame opened, but the sign was loading and loading and then the website hangs. You need to close the tab or reload the tab.
But seems Firefox does not allow to print at all

Expected results:

the printer frame should have showed the available printers

What helped at my side was:

I intended to uninstall firefox and reinstall, however, prior to the Uninstall the system prompted a message saying whether I want to "Refresh" firefox settings first. What I did.

After that the printer worked again.

Only disadvantage all your theme, add ons and other settings (downloading in certain files etc) are gone...

Probably some preference values for old printer ui caused bad effects. It's hard to tell. Closing.
