Bug Description

Since the upgrade to 17.04 thunderbird no longer prints. Even preview is not working. I tried two different printers, txt and html messages. The preview window comes empty (see attachement) and the printed sheets come only with header and footer, but no content (html messages produce only some horizontal lines, but no real content rendering). My printers are an HP Laserjet and a Samsung CLP laser.
