YES, here is the solution:

A set of lp* tools exists in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
and apparently, a new set of these tools is installed
either by cups or ghostcript in /usr/pkg/bin.

Mozilla invoques lpr in its printing command, which
is /usr/bin/lpr and doesn't seem to function with cups.

So I typed the command "chmod 0 /usr/bin/lp* /usr/sbin/lp*"
to disable these tools and the printer functions yet !!
(in addition, there's no need of lpd daemon)

Many thanks to you, Mr Bellovin
