I do not know for Fedora 11 but for fedora 10 (and many previous 
versions) we have to
add lpr in the gtk-print-backends in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (this is not 
related only to firefox though)
as in:

vanuatu-> more /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
gtk-theme-name = "Nodoka"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Fedora"
gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file"

Hope this helps....
