You could always print to the same file, e.g. /tmp/mozilla.ps, and run a
script in the background that waits for the presence of this file, sends
it to your spooler of choice, and removes the file afterwards.
The manpage of inotifywait (package inotify-tools) has examples for such
"wait for a filesystem event, then do something" scripts.
