[ale] odd printing problem

[Geoffrey]

It appears that open office and abiword are trying to use a different 
print mechanism.   In other words, Konqueror is using cups and abiword 
is using lpr.  I had a similar problem with koffice on my daughter's 
computer.  The easy part was that the print window for koffice has a 
selection box for selecting cups, lpr or lpring.

Point is, I'm not sure how to correct your problem but a reasonable 
solution would be to remove the offending package (print package that is).

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
