With a stock lpr/lpd, Firefox and xpdf work as expected. My .xpdfrc is: psFile "| lpr -Plaser" "laser" is the queue for my laser printer, defined in /etc/printcap. If the real BSD lpr is being called, you should see errors in /var/log/lpd-errs. There's a CUPS on FreeBSD article: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/cups/index.html
