Printing borked for LC Linux?

[JeeJeeStudio]

Not just LC.

If you try to print a Gmail message in Firefox on Ubuntu Mate, then it 
creates also a pdf which is not getting printed.

Doing the same in chrome and it prints correct.

Printing from Firefox to pdf, then open the pdf in the standard pdf 
reader, it prints also correct.

This was with a Canon inkjet, but there are also issues with other 
brands. In this it looks like Firefox is doing something weird.
