Please take issues of old libcairo into account: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/802942

I experience similar issues with an old Kyocera FS-1020d. As it turned out, my printing problems were all libcairo related:

- Upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 solved all printing problems for GTK applications that rely on systems libcairo (FF/TB have their own built-in old libcairo 1.9.5!)
- After compiling Firefox 47 against system's libcairo (on 16.04), these printing problems got fixed, too.

How I compiled FF against system's libcairo:

What happens if you upgrade to 16.04?
What happens if you compile FF against system's libcairo in 16.04?

Please report back.
