Can't get Print Properties in Openoffice

Hi folks,

I'm having some dramas with Openoffice in Fedora Core 2
(openoffice.org-1.1.1-4) and I'm hoping somebody here might have some
suggestions.  

The problem is quite simple.  If I open the "Print" dialogue in
OpenOffice and then click on Properties button to change printer
settings, nothing happens.  The Properties button depresses for a few
seconds and then returns to normal, but no Properties window ever
appears.  It's causing me no end of grief as I need to make a change to
the paper size in order to get envelopes to print correctly on my
Samsung ML-1510.

This bug has already been reported here:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126267

and it has apparently been addressed in Rawhide according to the bug
report.  The bug is now closed.  However how does that assist us Fedora
Core 2 users? I tried to install the Rawhide Openoffice RPMs but
predictably got a heap of dependency errors.  I don't particularly want
to run the development tree of Fedora just to overcome this problem.

Any suggestions as to how I might solve this problem would be greatly
appreciated!  Also I'd just like to say a big thanks to the guys and
girls that have put so much work into Fedora.  I am running both 1 & 2
on various machines and all in all, it's been a great experience!

Many thanks,
Graham
