Description:

I've been using lprng for quiet a while, and it was always supported by openOffice throught the "generic printer" driver. Unfortunately with current arch version of openoffice (3.2) that's no longer true, and "generic printer" is not available. To make things worse, apparently spadmin is broken because it doesn't allow one to select a printer driver...

Additional info:

* package version(s)
local/openoffice-base 3.2.0-3

* config and/or log files etc.
Just in case (not sure):
% head -1 /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "gnome"


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Ups, I didn't show the part of gtkrc I wanted to show:

% head -2 /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = "gnome"
gtk-print-backends = "file,lpr,cups"

Might be not important, just in case...

OpenOffice can access all cups provided printers. I don't see anything wrong with this. What else should internal crappy OOo spadmin provide?

configure option --without-ppds has been added to reduce package size. I cannot imagine why somebody doesn't want to use the ppds and printers provided by cups. But feel free to use ABS and rebuild the pkg without that option.
