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!

I tried installed Opera a while ago, but the program seg-faulted during
startup. But for some reason I forgot about Chrome. And I *can* print
from it. I tried the Print-PDF extension to Firefox and got nothing.
Firefox saves web pages just fine. And other programs seem to be able to
print files just fine, so I would think cups and ghostscript are ok.
