 If you have problems when you print to PS files then it is highly
 unlikely your problem is with hplip, or at least not the only problem.
 Try reinstalling CUPS and ghostscript.

Really wierd... I'm getting lost here, let me see if I understand:

You say you can print anything from the host machine but You can't
print a webpage from Firefox?

Have you tried with other Browsers?

if the problem remains by example with Google Chrome you may have some
luck using a "Printing Extension" for Firefox or Chrome... just search for
"Print"
in their respective extensions galleries, By the way, there's a bookmarklet
that may
help, give it a shot:

NAME: Print What You like

URL:
javascript:(function(){if(window['ppw']&&ppw['bookmarklet']){ppw.bookmarklet.toggle();}else{window._pwyl_home='
http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/';window._pwyl_pro_id=null;window._pw...
','text/javascript');window._pwyl_bmkl.setAttribute('src',window._pwyl_home+'static/compressed/pwyl_bookmarklet_10.js');window._pwyl_bmkl.setAttribute('pwyl','true');document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(window._pwyl_bmkl);}})();

If none of these experiments work, Try in another Distro if you can, by
example Mandriva,
wich detects plugged hardware within the "Mandriva Control Center"
and can install and configure printer & scanner with one click.

Again, good luck!
