 This is a Java  CUPS interaction bug:

 Hope this helps.

Yes, it helped a bit further. I've changed the CUPS config as the
workaround explained; now on Ctrl-P the printer selection box shows up
and I can start the printing; a small information widget about the
printing progress comes up and then a nearly empty window (contains no
message, only an OK button) and a msg on stderr as 'error message null'
(which fits with the absense of any message in the box).

Any idea?

update: printing to a file gives a useable PostScript file;

My company uses Steelray Viewer at the office; to my great surprise there is a 
Linux version available, which makes me think it might run on FreeBSD.  There's 
a trial version you can use to determine compatibility.  For what it's worth, 
the product works well - they license the tech from Microsoft so they have full 
access to the specification.  But it is not free-as-in-beer.
