Are you using CUPS or LPRng ?  Have you checked the log files for error
messages (like /var/log/messages )?  Can you print to a file and then
print that file with lpr <filename> ?

I've had trouble with Mozilla and some HP LaserJet's, but Evolution, OO
Writer, etc. usually work fine if the basic setup is working.
