When I launch Debian's Evince from Guix's emacs-maint, Evince

Evince in an Emacs shell and open Evince's print dialog:

I don't think "expected" is the right way to put this. I think
"explainable" is more accurate. I think it's reasonable to expect
that opening Debian's Evince from within Emacs would be able to
find the printers. The fact that it cannot is a bug introduced by
Guix's use of environment variables.
I run into a similar problem where my window manager (awesomewm)
sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which then propagates to everything I run
from my session. It's quite a pain. I thought there was an open
issue for this, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
