  Mozilla or any other user app should not be aware of CUPS.

  Setup cups to provide the standard 'lp' queue, and make it
your default print device, then everything else under linux, even
legacy apps should be able to print.

  test this with something simple like:

  ls | lpr

  If this works, then Mozilla should work as well if you set
it to use the default 'lpr' output printer queue and have cups
setup correctly for your printer.
