Bug 1654678 Part 4 - Make GTK printer enumeration use the unified CUPS code
(deleted), text/x-phabricator-request
Details

Up until now macOS has used the Core printing API, and Linux has used the GTK API for retrieving printer information.

With updates to our support for CUPS, introduced in Bug 1653433 we can now unify how both platforms retrieve printer information.

This patch will aim to refactor the existing functionality (retrieving printer names and paper sizes) on macOS and GTK to take advantage of these changes using the same code.

This leaves the nsPrinter for the time being, as it will also need to be
replaced on GTK before it can be removed.

While messing with widget/moz.build, also move the new printing source to be
controlled by the NS_PRINTING flag.
