I checked the logfiles and it seems to me, that a filter named "pstops" fails with an errorlevel 1 during the process. When I route the printout to a file (e.g. mozilla.ps) it is viewable whith gs. It is convertable with ps2pdf (which in fact is gs). The resulting pdf file is printable (when using acroread or converting it back with pdf2ps).

Perhaps you could post an URL to a sample file. It may well be that the firefox generated PS file
violates the DSC rules in a way that causes the pstops filter to fail.
