FireFox is not showing the correct printer name

Our printers are added from a print server. FireFox is showing the full printer server path as the printer name. This is not good. Why is this happening? I have tried clearing the printer settings and re-adding the printers but this did not fix the issue.

Mine does that, too. It definitely would be nicer if the printer name was displayed in the standard Windows style.

I filed a bug because I didn't see one on file, but it's possible this is a low priority "to do" item already:
