Maybe you're experiencing a caching problem? I would guess
that as you stated there is a temporary file, this should
not happen (in relation to Firefox) there should at least
be an error message.

Did you try to enter the full command into xpdf's printing
dialog, e. g. "/usr/local/bin/lpr -P<printer>", just in case
the .xpdfrc setting hasn't been read upon program start?
