Spinning this off from bug 1668002 comment 21.

We should investigate whether we should filter out CUPS_PRINTER_REJECTING in nsPrinterListCUPS::Printers. Or perhaps choose a different printer when getting the default printer if the actual default printer is in state CUPS_PRINTER_REJECTING. Or perhaps surface the fact that it's in this state to the frontend code via nsIPrinter.

Emily, Hiro, any thoughts welcome.

TBH, I didn't know the CUPS_PRINTER_REJECTING flag. Looks like we should filter out it at least on Linux. I've confirmed that printing out to a being-rejecting printer silently fails. It might not be silently I found Uncaught (in promise) undefined in the browser console, maybe it's an error in somewhere printing stuff.

Would you be able to take this, hiro?
