There is a Debian fix,

Apparently the problem occurs under Cinnamon, but not under Gnome-Desktop

Another Debian bug reference ( #1002725) provided a better (for me!) clue:

In /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince
adding after
   /usr/bin/pcmanfm Cx -> sanitized_helper, # LXDE
   /usr/bin/krusader Cx -> sanitized_helper, # KDE
   /usr/bin/thunar Cx -> sanitized_helper, # XFCE
the line
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy/0.4.17/pxgsettings Cx -> sanitized_helper, # Print Dialog

After restarting apparmor, the print problem was fixed
