I can get my pritner to work fine from a terminal using the lp command and from xpdf, but using Firefox or netscape does not work for me. Nothing happens, although with netscape when I modified the command line under print properties to lp instead of lpr, there was a line in the terminal, since I started netscape from a terminal, which indicated a print job went to queue.

Here are the command lines from Firefox and netscape:

lp "Firefox"

lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

I have an HP Deskjet 3650 and I use CUPS with redhat.

any thoughts?

Try the lpr line, and do
lpr -P <cups queue-name>
in the browsers printer settings.

unfortunately that didn't work. Thanks for the suggestion. Any others?

Got the queue-name right?

Cheers,
