Mozilla 1.6-5 not printing anything



I am using Debian/unstable.
Recently after an upgrade, mozilla has stopped printing. When I print a page from mozilla, it sends a ps file to printer and nothing gets printed. My printer is HP2300TN and I am using cups for printing. The output of dpkg -l|grep cups is given below:

$ dpkg -l |grep cups

The output of dpkg -l|grep mozilla is given below:

$ dpkg -l |grep mozilla

The commandline print (lpr) works very fine. Other applications like openoffice, etc., can print without a problem.

The interesting point is that if I print a webpage to "file" and then send that ps file to printer with lpr, the printer then also does not prints anything.

All I can understand is that mozilla is sending some thing into the ps file which the pritner cannot understand and so it prints nothing(Am I right?).

Is any other person facing the same problem?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
JSS
