I had the same problem. Than I find out, that there are two printing
systems (CUPS and LPR). CUPS is newer and actualy recomended.I had
printer instaled for CUPS, but i was runing bouth systems. Some
aplication printed through CUPS and some through LPR. Firefox was
printing through LPR, so nothing was printed.
Solution:
-remove packages for LPR
-install packages cupsys... and also package cupsys-bsd. Later is needed
for, that cupsys understand and accepts also commands for LPR (that is
why you have to remove LPR)
