Printing from the Internet

I have two network printers (HP Laserjets) that I've setup and print great from almost any application EXCPT the Internet. When I go to print anything in a web browser, it comes up with the standard dialog box, with the "lpr" command in the white box, and when I hit "Print", it doesn't print, and it totally kills my browser, shutting it down completely...Any suggestions?

Does lpr work from the command line? What browser are you using?

Perhaps you need to change the command to lpr -P printername.
