If you are not able to print at all, these are the instructions you need. Follow them exactly.
http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html If you have a DeskJet like I do, you will need to download the tar file and compile the driver locally. You can find the tar file here with instructions at: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php Inside the above file you will find the PPD and Foomatic files. I know this sounds like a bunch of hoops to jump through but it does really work by taking one step at a time. Once the above is finished, you will be able to print with Mozilla using the following command. Goto File-Print. With Printer: PostScript/default selected, click Properties. Using the instruction I showed in the begining put the following command in the Print Command area: lp -d fool -o PrintoutMode=Draft ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} The print-spooler is named fool in the example at the top. I just did all of this over the weekend. Its sweet once you get it working.
