Cups causing Xwindows to abnormally exit.

Hello All:

I just finished installing CUPS on my freeBSD 5.4, and
everything seemed to go correctly. I can print a test page
just fine. I can see the printer in a browser
(http://localhost:631/admin); it seems to be correct. 

When I try to print a page in Xwindows, Xwindows abnormally
exits. There is no error message on the terminal when X
closes. It appears X was given a normal 'exit X' command. Of
course, the page doesn't print either.

The steps leading up to this are: 

Start X windows. I have fvwm2 as the window manager.
Open Mozilla (or any browser). I use Mozilla.
On the displayed page, pick 'File' 'Print'.

Immediately X exits.

Any thoughts as to what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Harold
