If using CUPS I have my mozilla printer set to the default
'Postscript/default' and then under properties i have:
lpr -P printername
I have only had luck with lpr - which is part of the cupsys-bsd package.
I don't have any printers auto-detected or anything so I may have it
setup 'wrong' - but it works ... has done so from Moz 1.1 - 1.4a
