Description:
The printer device list no longer displays anything but "Print to file".
No list of hardware printers, or software printers external to firefox.

This is because a recent GTK upgrade has split the print functionality
into a separate package: gtk3-print-backends.

I suggest that the firefox package starts having the package
gtk3-print-backends as a hard dependency.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Possibly any firefox version in combination with gtk3 3.22.3-1+

See also https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218822

Steps to reproduce:
Try to print from firefox to a hardware printer with gtk3 3.22.3-1 installed,
but without having gtk3-print-backends 3.22.3-1 installed.
This task depends upon
