I just bumped into this problem with Seamonkey 2.35

If using a postscript printer or (e)cups the answer seems to be to reset 
the printing capabilities to use postscript.

In about:config change
    print.os2.postscript.use_builtin false
to
   print.os2.postscript.use_builtin true


Works here  :-)
