If you configure the print command in Netscape to be something that
works from the command line (for PostScript files, if I recall
correctly), it should use that to send its jobs to the printer.

If that doesn't happen, describe what you did, what the printer
command is set to, what happens when you try it (including log
messages), and what happens when you print something from the command
line using the same command.

Good luck.

Actually, my configuration works with netscape as well.
But sometimes for webpages with images embedded  in
tables seem to not work. I was thinking if there is a
printer filter other than the one in the FreeBSD handbook
(I am using this: filter for postscript print for non postscript
printers) to address this.
