Amazing, how long ago since the Dunfell-series had the first
release? In all of that time, have not been able to from from
GTK3-based apps.
For Firefox, I always print to PDF, then use Evince PDF viewer to
print the PDF. Evince, being GTK2-based can print.
Yes, I discovered that the 'gtk+3' package in OpenEmbedded
defaults to not having CUPS support. I modified the recipe, and
recompiled it, and tested the result. Voila, FF now
prints!
