Bug#257659: epiphany-browser: Unable to print

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.2.6-3
Severity: normal

If I attempt to print from Epiphany, anything at all, I get back an
error message that reads "There was a problem printing. The printer
could not be found.". This happens regardless of whether I send it to
lpr or if I print to a file. I've also tried sending the print job to
lp and, just for kicks, ml1430 (the printer's name).

Creating print jobs with lpr/lp from the command line has always worked
fine for me.

I am able to print just fine with Mozilla (though by default it insists
on printing to A4 sized paper, which seriously FUBARs my printer) and
have had much success with Mozilla Firefox in the past.
