What distribution of Linux are you using? On Debian the cupsys-client
package provides the 'lp'-style printing commands and the cupsys-bsd
package provides 'lpr'-style commands. In neither case is .cups
appended anywhere.
If getting Mozilla to use lpr.cups rather than lpr in it's print
command, I'll bet that putting:
user_pref("print.print_command", "lpr.cups
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}");
(all on one line with a space between the lpr.cups and the ${MOZ stuff)
into
~/.mozilla/[username]/[wierddir]/user.js
and starting mozilla might just do the trick.
