I am experiencing identical symptoms - possibly the same issue. It was impossible to print anything in FF3 3.05 & now updated to 3.06.
I thought I'd fixed it by restarting cups.

It seems counter-productive to expect users to troubleshoot the most elementary things such as getting an important application to print.

Firstly, Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 (20081227) works absolutely fine.

Other versions available to me:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 which works fine.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1b2) Gecko/20081201 Firefox/3.1b2 which also works fine.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-1.4 Firefox/3.0 does NOT work!
Firefox simply freezes when prompted to print. That's all there is.
I have to kill FF.
