I had that problem when I started using Seamonkey's 2.0 pre-release,
which incorporates a lot of the changes that went into FF3. The new
mozilla software uses the CUPS print system, so if you're not using
that, or there are problems there, that's one place to look. On
mine, it turned out that, for whatever reason (I never did find out
what), the cupsd daemon had died and never restarted. I brought it
up, re-added the printer and now it works.
I did notice a couple of days ago that the print button failed on me
again, not just in seamonkey, but everywhere. I tried restarting
cups, logging out and back in, and wound up rebooting. I think this
time it had something to do with my printer being offline - the
parallel printers have a problem with reconnecting.
