I just printed a test page, and it showed up fine. I also checked that the 
printer appeared in firefox.

Using firefox now, I see that the pdf is kind of edgy (low resolution). The 
test page "printed" though. I have no idea how to fix this.. Maybe tweak the 
ps settings in the postscript driver. I guess the cups-pdf uses ps2pdf 
behind the scenes, if you experience the same troubles there.

Firefox should really use the Gnome print ui as gedit and gpdf where there 
are pdf possibilities already. Quite funny, that you can print a pdf 
document from gpdf :-)
