  The magic url, plus logging in as root, did the trick.  Not only do
text files print properly, but the cutsie test-page prints out too.
I've solved the problem of printing with Mozilla Firebird.  The default
print command...

lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

...produces text that looks like postscript commands.  I replaced that
with...

lp

...and it works OK.
