Hi,

After we talked last night, I took another look at Mozilla when I got 
home.  I checked how I have Mozilla set up, and here is what I find:

* When I hit the print button, the dialog box has only Postscript/default.

* When I hit the properties button for that, I find that I have replaced 
the long, messy string that we saw last night with lpr -Plaser.  That's 
the print command which I would use from the command line to send things 
to my old laserjet.

So, I had remembered wrongly: I did have to change something (that print 
command in the printer properties dialog) to make Mozilla print with 
cups.  That was months ago, so it's no wonder that I forgot.

Hope this helps,
Nels
