Printer added with Printing Manager do not show in OpenOffice2.org

[Jan Wilson]

I have an HP Business Inkjet 1200 that I managed to add using hplip and 
cups.  From the Printing Manager frontend to CUPS I can test it just 
fine and set it as the default printer.

 From OOo, however (on the server or in a ULTSP workstation) it only 
appears as GENERIC PRINTER.  It seems that I can set options in the 
Printing Manager and then send files to the generic printer, but that is 
awkward.

Anyone else have this problem?  Searching the web I found several 
references to what appears to be the problem, but I would have thought 
this would be fixed by now.  One recommendation is to disable the 
OpenOffice-gtk-gnome - something package (ugly workaround).

Any ideas?
