[plug] Printing from OOo

Greetings,

I can't seem to figure how to print from OpenOffice.org.

I can print from nearly every other app. Basically I'm using Woody with
KDE 2.2.2 and CUPS.

When I print from other apps select an option along the lines of print
using the following command and I enter "qtcups" which brings up the
nice printing interface that look surprisingly like it does on Windows.

Only on OpenOffice I don't have that option. You can select two
different printers <lp> or Generic Printer and neither of them work.

I also was never able to setup the printer manager option in KDE control
center correctly (maybe this is what I'm missing)

>From what I saw in Knoppix, KDE 3 seems to have better support for cups.

Let me know if you can help.

Thanks,

Chris
