Thanks,
but it isn't necessary changing the printing command. MOZ_PRINTER_NAME 
is unset in the default config and printing without an explicitely named 
printer should always target 'lp', if set. Our printer setup runs now 
for several years without problems - without CUPS. The problem seems to 
a null-set

print.printer_list

Seting this string to "lp some-other-lp-name" solves the problem, 
firefox/mozilla prints via lpd as expected and not connecting a mutual 
cups service as recognized.
