Thank you for the reply.  My main problem with the Mozilla PostScript 
module is that most of our printers don't have PostScript interpreters 
new enough and they print out pages complaining about that and saying to 
filter through gs.  When we filter through gs, the resulting printout 
looks like crap.  Is there any chance that the Mozilla PostScript Module 
will be supporting these older HP printers? 

They are all out of support with HP so I doubt we will be getting new 
firmware upgrades, and it would take tens of thousands of dollars to 
replace them, which is unlikely to happen.  Currently we have recompiled 
Firefox with XPrint support, but we would rather not have custom 
packages floating around.  Thanks.
