well, i fallowed the CUPS quick start guide at linuxprinting.org and got my printer going to the point where I can print a test page by going to
http://localhost:631/printers/ and clicking the "print test page" button under my printer.
but when I click the print button in mozilla or openoffice.org's swriter nothing hapens. when i click on print properties in mozilla it gives this for the printing command
"lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}"
but I dont know where those properties are stored or even what to set them to.
heres what localhost:631/printers says about my printer

based on that what should I set those mozilla varriables to? (and how/where do i set them)
also, if i wanted to print a text file in the command line, what would i type? (i think its "lp" but i dont know what arguements to use)
