Thanks for the tips and sorry for the delay in response (couldn't get to reply sooner). I tried 'lpr -Phost%9100' but it didn't work for me. Nor did the 'wild' fix editing 'libgfxps.so' binary directly. Yet I sleep better (thanks to you guys :-) because I know where the problem is now. I guess, I'll just wait for next release of mozilla hoping that PS2 printing to laserjets gets fixed. Many thanks for help...
