OK, I have hit this problem myself (I have a HP4000 printer).  The problem is 
that the HP4000 is a PS level 2 printer and mozilla generates PS level 3.

There are two portential solutions (from Red Hat):

1. change your printer to use the "lj5gray" ty[pe of output. [this has worked 
for me]

2. After creating a HP4000 Postscript print queue, edit it and check the 
"Prerender Postscipt" box (should work).
