I had that once before, but it was on Sarge. The solution was to install 
xprt-xprintorg. The woody backports have that package. You might backup 
your partition then install that package and see if it resolves it.

As an aside: I run the latest Mozilla 1.6 and 1.7b, which I compile from 
scratch on woody. Those are a lot better then the 1.4 version, mozilla 
still depends upon xprt though to do the printing.
