I had the same problem with firefox. It was due to the fact that firefox tried to print to letter paper size instead of A4, the only available to my printers. The printer dialog does not allow to change the paper size. I found two solutions. The first was to "ask" for the print preview and to set the correct page size before printing. The second was to go to about:config, to look for the "print" related items and set everywhere A4 as default. I hope this my help you. For me, it worked.
I remember often in pre-FF3 times that an A4 paper size caused printer failure in various apps. I never thought to try about:config to find paper size, but it seems this is probably the problem. A search on A4 in about:config got me one instance, which I changed to letter. Unfortunately, it didn't help. Print still fails, and on return to about:config after attempting to print, A4 again shows up. Print preview doesn't help either. Paper format is already set to US Letter there.
In my KDE3 settings for Country/Region, Paper format is set to US Letter. Where else could FF3 be picking up A4 from?
I took another look at *paper* in about:config, and don't believe any paper size pref is an issue. I see: 1-print.postscript.paper_size defaults to letter 2-A4 needs to be listed once as an available type, along with A3, A5 & others, as in print.tmp.printerfeatures.*.paper.*.name -> e.g. print.tmp.printerfeatures.lj4m.paper.1.name -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.
