The solution was to go to settings, general, scroll all the way down and click config editor. Change print.always_print_silent to false
I have a Brother printer connected with usb cable to aRaspberry Pi running standard Rasbian and shared to my local home network.
From my Ubuntu computer I can print from writer, I can print a test page, it seems to work just fine.
But I opened up an email in Thunderbird and clicked print. A dialog with a progress bar appeared, quickly going to 100% and vanishing. But nothing is printed. And the printer que is empty.
Ubuntu 20.04 up to date
In Thunderbird print format my printer is listed twice, for some reason.
I deleted the printer in ubuntu and readded it.
The printer is set as standard
In Thunderbird config editor I reset print_printer
I renamed addons.json in my profile folder
Suggestions please
Edit
The printer is visible in Ubuntus system settings and Libreoffice, but not in Thunderbird.
I have just followed these troubleshooting steps
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Network_printer
I get no output from $ /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp, not even if I add the IP to the raspberry pi.
This is my output from **sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd **

In http://127.0.0.1:631/ the printer is listed with same name as in Ubuntu settings. I can print a test page. I can print from ie Libreoffice Calc. But not from Thunderbird
The Raspberry Pi 3 that the printer is connected to is Running Rasbian and is up to date.
