However, be warned that there are patches in bug 629500 to get rid of

It's blocked on Windows-specific fixes (bug 693230) -- it looks like
there's a patch in there, but nobody bothered to ask for review and it's
also not clear whether it actually works. If anyone has low-level Windows
GUI programming experience and spare brain cycles I could really use help
with that part.
The intention is still to remove nsIPrinterEnumerator entirely. All the
tier-1 platforms nowadays discourage use of the OS-level printer
enumeration APIs, because they have to talk to the network and may block
the calling thread for an indefinite period. You're supposed to just let
the OS-supplied print dialog boxes figure it out for you.
