What does echo $PRINTER say?

I have export PRINTER="HPOJ" in .bash_profile or mozilla wouldn't
print.  or

install xprint, configure it as per the docs, stop /etc/init.d/cupsys
restart and then you you can select from different printers in
mozilla.  You can also save files from moz to .pdf format.
