MOZ_PRINTER_NAME is unset in the default config and printing without an explicitely named printer should always target 'lp', if set. Our printer setup runs now for several years without problems - without CUPS. The problem seems to a null-set print.printer_list Seting this string to "lp some-other-lp-name" solves the problem, firefox/mozilla prints via lpd as expected and not connecting a mutual cups service as recognized.
