  I did the analagous change in my system. 

  With Xprint off, i can get Thunderbird to see my named printers as 
  in earlier versions of Mozilla. But Firebird insists on seeing an
  xprint server. I use LPRng for my print servers.
 
  All my printers were identified as PS printers in Xprint but just not working 
  for me.
