printing itself is not the problem, works as expected, also openoffice shows
all remote printers in the current configuration,
only firefox doesn't show the printers, not even the default printer which has
an entry in prefs.js .

Google says that firefox3 is using a new API for printing (GTK+ print), maybe
that's the problem?

try as root, /usr/sbin/print-service -s cups
You need the cups service to run on you local machine, so that the cupsd
can talk to the remote server.
The scripts print-service allows you to switch between lp and cups.
/usr/sbin/print-service shows the options.
