How do I get Firefox1.5 to detect my printer?

I'm using CUPS to manage my networked HP7200 printer.
I successfully print test pages from "localhost:631/printers"... but when I go to file -> print in Firefox, my printer is not listed in the "Printer Name:" drop-down menu.

in the address bar type "about:config" (no quotes)
scroll down to where the printer command is and change it to the printer you use
I'm not sure what you would put there for cups, maybe someone else will answer that for us
i hope this helps you

Firefox uses Xprint.
apt-get install xprint
