gtk3-print-backends: Printing
A new Xfce install, gtk3 is "preinstalled" as dependency of other packages, the user didn't care to read through its optional dependency list. gtk3-print-backends is not installed. The user later installs evince and runs into the described problem. I agree that gtk3-print-backends should be only optional for gtk3, but for evince printing is core functionality and imho should be added as its proper dependency. At least add it as optional dependency for evince as well to draw the user's attention to the fact that it is required for printing functionality in evince while installing it.
