I could verify that it fails via CUPS web interface when you do it the first time - i.e. when CUPS does its authentication. After authentication my Firefox returns with a blank page but a special URL is shown in its URL line. The default was not changed (lpstat -d still shows the old default) but it changes when I let Firefox load the special URL (lpstat -d shows the new default and also Firefox's print menue). Once you did the authentication (without restaring Firefox) it works well via the CUPS web interface to change the default to this or that queue (because as long as Firefox runs there is no need for a second authentication). Therefore it is a bug regarding how authentication via the CUPS web interface works with the browser. Perhaps it happens only in Firefox - perhaps Firefox's defaults inhibit something (e.g. an automated replacement of a web page by a new one - those with the special URL) or whatever the actual reason might be (I am neither a HTTP nor a browser expert).

If you want to parse through Kprinter, these are the hints I give to my
students on how to setup printing in Firefox:
Not really, because I don't use kde normally.
1.1.To send print jobs through Kprinter, enter as URL about:config,
then change the entry print.postscript.print_command,
print.print_command and
print.printer_Postscript/default.print_command to Value: kprinter.
print.print_command does not exist.
print.postscript.print_command = lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command = lpr
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
So that is correct. Then, I have:
print.print_printer = CUPS/tofile
which is the printer I want to have, but still when I try to print mozilla
(I mean, firefox) pops the print dialog with the previous printer
selected, and the one I want half way down the list.
When printing select PostScript/default as Printer Name.
I did that once, yes, but the choice in the dialog does not stick. And
that PostScript/default does not print to my system default printer as
defined in cups (it prints to tp0).
I could hack those to the name I want, but I don't like that. I will
forget the default string when I want to put it back and will have to ask
here again O:-)
1.2.To prevent cropping of header and footer when printing, change Gap
from edge to Margin to 0.25 inches in all sides in Printer /
Properties in the Print window.
(this was just a bonus hint ;)
Ah, yes... I have them at the default .14 inches. Should change that,
probably.
