The standard self-compiled install puts *lots* of stuff in
/usr/local, e.g. in
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/lib contains a subdirectory gtk-2.0 which has engines,
immodules, printbackends, and loaders in it. But also
/usr/local/lib ("above" gtk-2.10, not inside it) will contain new
gtk things.
BTW Mumia, it seems you use a (probably non-Debian) firefox
(because you use Etch), which is also in /usr/local. I use Sid,
and I can now print with the standard Debian Iceweasel.
The difficult thing now is to pinpoint where the bug is, exactly.
Ihe official Debian source files of libgtk2.0-0 are much bigger
than the gtk+-2.10 ones on gtk.org (23 MB vs 14 MB). To compile
the Debian version (which does not allow lpr printing through ff3)
you need to install *lots* of extra packages:
gnome-common
intltool
libcairo-directfb2
libcups2-dev
chrpath
gtk-doc-tools
libcairo-directfb2-dev
libcupsys2-dev
svn-buildpackage
unp
gnome-pkg-tools
libsvn-perl
svn-buildpackage
It seems the package was heavily customised. Maybe some bias
favouring CUPS was introduced. But ff2 worked fine, so I am still
not certain where the blame really lies.
