How can I print from Evince/Firefox with CUPS?

Hi: After some adventures, I have managed to install FreeBSD, Gnome, got sound working, and CUPS.

Although CUPS now works and I've installed my LAN printer (HP LJ2420), I can't print from Firefox or Evince. Open Office Writer works perfectly, though. Do I need to install LPR, or ?? I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks!
 
Possibly you need to set the printing command to the CUPS lpr at /usr/local/bin/lpr rather than the native /usr/bin/lpr.

Wblock: thank you for your kind and quick response. Where/in what file do I edit this preference?
Click to expand...

Depends on your window manager/desktop environment. In xfce4, it's under Settings/Printing.
