"cat prefs.js" is not needed.
easier/shorter command is "grep print_printer prefs.js".
actually, in 'prefs.js', contrary to your 'grep', you show
"print.print" and you have 2 "print_printer".
user_pref("print.print_printer", "");
user_pref("print_printer", "");
tho you are posting using oos, you are posting *nix commands.
if you are actually debugging a *nix system, why not install "CUPS"
if not already installed, to set up printers. once "CUPS" is working,
firefox will/should pick up the printers.
CUPS is the standards-based, open source printing system developed
by Apple Inc. for Mac OS® X and other UNIX®-like operating systems.
you connect to CUPS via firefox using http://localhost:631/.
this is how i have my 4 printers set up and they work for both
firefox and thunderbird. if/when i need to change among printers,
i make change using CUPS.
with CUPS, in both firefox and thunderbird, i get;
}> [geo@boxen bsyq4708.default]$ grep print_printer prefs.js
}> user_pref("print_printer", "PostScript/default");
}> [geo@boxen bsyq4708.default]$
*NOTE*
1] i _do_not_show_ 'user_pref("print_printer", "");'.
2] with end of line of ""); it is indicating that you
do not have any printer configured because the printer
shows within the "".
speaking of which, does printing work under thunderbird?
Don't use and never had Thunderbird on this lappy, but do have CUPS due
to old printers that Apple doesn't support by default. :(
if not and you do have CUPS running and configured, it will block
printing if it is not set up correctly.
All printers worked in the past. Just no print preview option for
Firefox (other non-Mozilla programs have them). I just noticed SeaMonkey
v2.32 doesn't have a print preview option like in Windows as well so
crossposted to mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup as well. :(
For kicks, I renamed this file and started up Firefox to redo its
prefs.js file. Same results (no print preview). I also tried the
other Mac OS X v10.8.5 account (administrator instead of standard
level) and still saw the same problem.
again, what about CUPS?
Now what? Is there somewhere else to look? FYI, it doesn't matter
if the HP printer is slightly new (a few years old) or over a
decade old. :(
just look to see if you have CUPS set up. if you a printer that does
not have correct drivers for CUPS installed for any printer of any
make, type, or age, CUPS will not configure for it. correct drivers
must be installed and are available for over 99% of printers
available. should you have a make/type not listed, there is a 99.9%
probability that a similar driver will work.
so, click link http://localhost:631/ to see if you have CUPS and
configure it.

CUPS printers web page.
