You have stumbled upon quite possibly the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard of..
These guys doing openoffice, believe that in order to support printing, they
must take it upon themselves to standardize printing across all unices!! So,
rather than write in some code to convert to PS and use lpr to print (like
most unices.) they would rather not have you print at all until they have a
final solution. If you ask me, it's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard
of, but then again they are almost all former sun employee's, so they may not
be used to they ways of "users" who like "features" like the ability to
PRINT! Just my $.02. If you can convert your stuff to PS and print that way, I
would recommend it.
