I'm not exactly holding my breath, but it's been suggested so I'll try
it. Probably later this week. What puzzles me slightly is that there's
only the one printer there - a samsung laser running under CUPS. So "has
to be" (famous last words :-) ) the same driver for all applications.

When you take OOo from the Ubuntu Repository have you made sure that the
package "openoffice.org" is selected?
This fooled me several times, because in the standard installation there
is an OOo writer with crippled functionality and said package installs
the rest.

I'd recommend posting over on the users list (both OOo users and Ubuntu
users) to see if someone there can assist.
