Thanks Florian,

I should have mentioned that I am using cups and I prefer to be using 
cupsys-bsd to provide the lpr command.

I have tried upgrading my whole system (apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade) 
removing the 
mozilla-firefox 
removing xprint-common 
removing xprint. 

then i tried to restore the mozilla-firefox (now called firefox i believe) as 
well as also tried with and without xprint.

I am stymied. The mozilla "printer properties" dialog gives me a huge list of 
paper types, none of which is the Usual us letter type on my cups run 
hplaserjet printer. 

What package is responsible for that?

Thanks,

Mitchell
