Right now, nsIPrintSettings has a getter for non-contiguous page-ranges (GetPageRanges) but there's no setter.
This means that, once we add UI to let users provide non-contiguous page ranges, there's not yet any way for the UI to send those page ranges down to the platform code.
(The getter only has a non-trivial implementation on linux right now, and it's backed by a GTK print dialog API. So the linux-only getter-implementation isn't something that would be usable by our tab-modal print dialog.)
So: we'll need to add a nsIPrintSettings API that the frontend code can use to provide these page ranges; and then these should be made available via the existing GetPageRanges getter.
Once we do that, things should Just Work in the print preview & in actual printed output, thanks to bug 1661868 (which made our page layout code consume & honor the ranges that are provided by the GetPageRanges getter).

... which is an array of pairs of ranges, and use it instead of the
existing printRange / startPage / endPage settings.

One suggested by Jonathan in the review (as the ALLPAGES bit is just 0).
One pointing to bug 1675956, where we could possibly improve the system
dialog to use non-contiguous page ranges.
