2. Open a document in Evince.
3. Open the print dialogue.
4. Notice the absence of printers.
5. Close the print dialogue.
6. Install the package gtk3-print-backends.
7. Open the print dialogue.
8. Notice the presence of printers.

Proposed fix:
Make the package gtk3-print-backends an optional dependency, and state that it's needed for printing.
