We got this from a user:

Is there any way to hide auto-discovered printers in the Firefox print preview, other than forcing UseSystemPrintDialog? I've only added one printer to this device, the only one it should be able to print to, but it just gets added to the bottom of the list behind 13 other auto-discovered printers, which should not be visible.

We should investigate the difference between how Firefox shows auto discovered printers versus the system dialog.

In an enterprise in particular, this could be problematic if they have a lot of printers.

At the bare minimum, local printers should be at the top.

I'm not sure that we currently have access to how the printer was added available to us where we generate this dropdown. It looks like we should have a flag on the system default printer to identify that one. It seems like having PDF/default printer at the top could be sensible as an improvement over the current state at least.
