Printing from OpenOffice.org is fine, but whenever I try to print from
Firefix, the output comes out in Landscape with the top part of the text
chopped off. The Print Preview looks fine.

Google hasn't helped much; "about:config" and filtering for "print"
doesn't show anything obviously out of place (but I don't really
understand most of the options here); some of the Googling indicates
that Xprint is somehow involved (I don't really understand Xprint, it's
purpose or it's manner of working), but when I run

export $XPSERVERLIST=`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`

like some Google pages indicate, I get this error:

bash: export: `=:64': not a valid identifier

When you export, take the dollar sign out of the front. If you leave in the
dollar sign, the shell substitutes the current value, then proceeds.

When I run "xplsprinters" I get:

xplsprinters: no printers found for printer spec "".

This is likely because your export statement above didn't work. The
XPSERVERLIST environment variable is blank.

I've uninstalled all my printers from the cups web interface
(http://localhost:631) and added back in just the one (remote,
networked) HP LJ 4200 printer with which I'm concerned. All the settings
that I can find indicate it should be printing portrait, on Letter
paper. A test print from the cups web interface prints properly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
