Happened to me yesterday, although cups managed to grab the print job before firefox died, which saved me a lot of time and aggravation. In the past this has been solved by rebuilding things in the following order: 1. gnutls 2. cups 3. firefox so if you have to rebuild one of those, you have to rebuild everything after it. However, there is no guarantee that it will work even after you do that. This is an ugly problem that has been around for a while, and so far no one has stepped up to make a definitive fix.
