Mozilla uses the lpr interface by default, which works fine with the 
CUPS lpr replacement.  When you select File / Print... click on the 
Properties button and enter the lpr command for the printer you want to use.

For example, I have two printers defined in CUPS, one called lp and the 
other lp1.  These are the short name lpr compatible names that show up 
in /etc/printcap.  If I want to print to lp1, which happens to be a 
JetDirect printer, I enter "lpr -Plp1" in the Print Command box of the 
Printer Properties dialog.

Works fine for me.

Best Regards,
Keith
