Bug Description

In the File -> Print dialog "CUPS/" should be stripped from the front of displayed printer names, since all printing in Ubuntu is done via CUPS. This is already done for Firefox, for consistency reasons this should also be done for Thunderbird.

In Feisty both Firefox and Thunderbird print dialogs seem to have the "CUPS/" prefix again. So the behaviour is consistent again.
I'm closing the bug.

CUPS/ is not stripped in Firefox print dialog, this is a problem because one cannot read the printer's name without resizing the dialog.

Furthermore the dialog size is not saved (see #173667)
