Printer problem

[root <sidneybrooks@mail.vtc.net>]

I can print with pr <file> |lpr. I have downloaded the browsers, 
Netscape 6 and Opera 5, as well as Star Office. On none of these can I 
print using the printer button. It seems unlikely that all are flawed so 
I must assume that something is wrong with my configuration. If somebody 
knows how to get my programs to print, I can replace Windows 98 with 
Debian as my primary operating system. Thank you.
