OpenOffice.org and CUPS (Was: Re: [ale] whats better aboutKDE?)

[James P. Kinney III]

I have a printer setup button under the Office category in RedHat 8.

In the location where OpenOffice.org is installed, there is a
program/spadmin application that is used to setup printers. OpenOffice
recognises "lp" as a default printer. CUPS does not use "lp" as a
printer name. Run spadmin and setup your printers. It even has a PDF
converter (really useful!) and a faxprinter (ditto!).
