Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?

If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions

Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.
