PARTIALLY SOLVED! It was because of the Unity installation. Maybe that can get flagged somewhere?
I tracked it down by looking at gtk3-print-backends, and what supplied that.
After removal of the gtk3-ubuntu package, I get the System Dialog printers showing up…
BUT STILL NO PRINTING from either Tbird or FF.

Actually it is SOLVED, only after removal of the printer it is now going to a queue and complaining about pdftops rendering or something…

So I can sort that out.
Thanks all!!
