Brilliant! I now have just two postscript printers in firefox ;) This has been bugging me on and off since I started using Debian but never felt sufficiently confident to remove it, in case I broke something in a fundamental way. FWIW aptitude didn't try to do anything beyond removing x-window-system xprnt-common and xprint-xprintorg.
