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.
As I stated above, I'm using GNOME. I don't actually know how gnome handles printing -- it seems to me that each app uses its own methods.
Are you using KDE? If so try changing the print command to kprinter --stdin which will then run the KDE Printing dialog instead of using the settings from Firefox...
