Do you have a printer installed ?

Are there error messages in the Browser Console about printing ?

You can set print.tab_modal.enabled = false on the about:config page to revert to the old dialog.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
