[nflug] Selecting a printer in Firefox 1.07 & 1.5

[Joe]

I figured out part of it, but it still doesn't work.
In Firefox, I go to about:config
In there, I changed everything (about 4 places) that mentioned lpr to dplx.
My changes persisted, but the printing still does not access my script.  
I made sure to exit and restart Firefox because I assumed that prefs.js 
only gets read at startup.
