CUPS requires that Postscript files conform to the Adobe PostScript Document 
Structuring Conventions.
It looks like the PostScript generated by firefox is not DSC compliant:

$ cupstestdsc file.ps 
file.ps: FAIL
    Missing or bad %%Pages: comment!
        REF: Page 43, %%Pages:
    Missing or bad %%Page: comments!
        REF: Page 53, %%Page:
    Warning: no %%EndComments comment in file!

$ cupstestdsc fileconverted.ps 
fileconverted.ps: PASS

Rejecting cupsys task, adding firefox task.
