I installed the gtk stuff in that way and I do have the entries you
listed. But I don't seem to have the same printer entries in
about:config.
I have put
print.print_printer user_set string lpr
which doesn't seem to work. I can't see options for your other entries.
How did you create an entry for print.postscript.cups.enabled?
