Printing from thunderbird/firefox

[Michael Friendly <friendly@yorku.ca>]

I'm using gnome 2.8/debian unstable with the latest firefox and 
thunderbird.  When I try to print, the default printer in my printer
panel is 'lex720@:64' and using it prints tiny (1/4 size) pages one up.

using about:config reveals:


print.printer_lex720@:64.print_command   user set   string   lpr 
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P}$MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

What can I do or change so that printing works correctly?
With mozilla, there was the same printer entry, with the same
behavior, but there was also a 'Postscript default' printer
that had the correct behavior.
