Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Using Firefox 3.03 on Intrepid. I normally use the print function in Firefox to print receipts etc to pdf. When I select print now though I get an empty dialog window popping up which I cannot close. Firefox fully freezes and I have to force quit. Doesn't seem to matter if I select the Print option from the File menu or use the print button on the toolbar. Print works fine in other applications.
Update: the problem can be fixed by manually deleting all references to system printers in about:config. This seems to suggest that the problem is caused by a FF auto config bug of some sort.

Just checked and the cups error log doesn't show anything. The access log shows that access was successful at the time I last tried to print from firefox.
