Hi George,

  I think if you print by lpr, youmay be hitting this bug,

 JDS-Nevada]Firefox3.x crashes when useing  "Print to LPR"

 http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=6747225


  Also noted if you create a print queue using
Remote LPD with the new print manger (which is functionality the same as
Add Access to printer.. on Solaris LP Print Manager), but with a different.

Soloris LP Print manger doesn't update your $HOME/.printers, but Print
Manager does. Since your printers entry in /etc/nssswitch.conf says 
user,files,
Phaser2 will not appear in the Firefox print dialog because the queue added
is not in $HOME/.printers.

I think having 2 Print mangers on the menu is confusing especially they have
different behaviors. anyway, that is another day of work.

So I look forwards to the information from you with the new Print manager :)

Thanks,

-Ghee
