See if you've the package xprt-xprintorg installed.
Firefox comes with that bundled in (which is a little on the wasteful
side, but there you go) whereas Mozilla does not (I don't think).
If you do have it then the problem might be upstream - I'd suggest a
mozilla.org binary and see how that goes. Or use Firefox or Konqueror,
both of which do work (I prefer using Konqueror for printing anyway.
Ok, I prefer Konqueror period, but I digress).
