strange cups problem

[Peter L. Peres]

I am relatively new to cups and I have a small problem: I can print 
anything (text, graphics, ps, anything) from command line using lpr ... 
but many programs (like firefox, acrobat, gimp etc) print raw ps files. 
How do I fix this ? I have PRINTER set to the name of the cups printer in 
the environment (not the name of the device, but the symbolic name of the 
printer in cups). The system is debian based.

any ideas are welcome, tia,

Peter
