I know this is an old post (couldn't find anything newer), but
is mentioned print.print_printer (and it was in my about:config):

Identical in my case as well:
$ pkg_info | grep -e gtk -e cairo
atk-2.8.0 accessibility toolkit used by gtk+
cairo-1.12.14p0 vector graphics library
gdk-pixbuf-2.28.2p1 graphic library for gtk+2
gtk+2-2.24.20p1 multi-platform graphical toolkit
gtk+3-3.8.2p3 multi-platform graphical toolkit
gtk-update-icon-cache-2.24.20 gtk+ icon theme caching utility
py-cairo-1.10.0p1 cairo bindings for Python
py-gtk2-2.24.0p1 GTK+2 Python bindings
