It might not be a FF problem because I can print to a physical printer
with FF3.0.13.  I have two printers defined, my Epson and the cups PDF
driver, and the print button is enabled for both.

I find myself using the PDF driver more often because I really do
believe in the paperless office concept.

I'm using cups version 1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2 on a 32-bit Jaunty system,
and Synaptic reports FF as version 3.0.13+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1,
if that matters.
