You can always check
$ echo $PRINTER
which should give you the correct printer name, as
you did correctly show. Make sure upper/lowercase
matches exactly.
When you now use any lp* command, they should
refer to $PRINTER.
$ lpq
no entries
And as well:
$ lpr /etc/rc.conf
should print the specified file and place its entry
into the correct printer's queue.

In Firefox (at least here in the old 2.0.0.20_9,1 versio
as I _hardly_ use it), the printing dialog contains a
way to specify the printer directly (as some other
programs also do, but setting a printer name _for each
application_ just sounds wrong).
Go: File -> Print..., then Properties, where you'll
find Print Coommand:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
So you _could_ do some customization here - but it
sounds no good to do that. :-)
