Openoffice rpm

[Richard Houston]

Spadmin is the printer and font admin utility for openoffice. It is
included in the package from openoffice.org. It allows you to change the
default printer system from lpr to what ever you want. In our case we are
going to use kprinter to allow users access to the extended features of
our lexmark printer.

The issue here on FC2 is that openoffice, I assume, has been setup to use
libgnomeprint and or talks to the cups printer directly. I an not sure. I
have symlinked the lpr in /usr/bin to kprinter but openoffice still uses
it's internal printer setup. This setup does not allow openoffice to
access the advanced features of the printers such as duplex printing and
alternative paper trays from a standard user.

With spadmin you can also setup fax printers for open office and pdf
printers which I realize is already available.
