So far, this is what I see as command line output if I try to print a test 
page using spadmin:

connected to 'localhost'
 requesting printer EPSC62 at localhost
 job 'rebus at localhost+938' transfer to EPSC62 at localhost failed
  error 'NONZERO RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL'
  sending str '^BEPSC62' to EPSC62 at localhost
 error msg: 'spool queue for 'epsc62' does not exist on server 
localhost.localdomain'
 error msg: '   non-existent printer or you need to run 'checkpc -f''

Of course, hte printer does exist and it works fine if I print from a KDE app 
or use "kprinter -stdin". But that command fails if Itry to use if within 
OpenOffice. Any ideas?
