3 years no print with Linux

[audriusb at homelan.lt]

Quoting "albi at scii.nl" <albi at scii.nl>:
Linux designers should stop cooking new programs which are doing exactly the
same things and spend more time on brilliant of the existing software. Here
short list of my adventures with UBUNTU Hoary, AMD64:
   1) I spent some time and attached my HP PSC1210 to the CUPS system; all
      tests were passed without any complains. I got surprise literraly on
      next day when I launched printing from OpenOffice: no reaction from the
      printer.
   2) I went to WEB looking for information and found that OOo 1.9.3 requires
      manual installation of CUPS printer. OK, I started spadmin and found that
      it craches.
   3) I am old C++ programmmer and desided to help myself: downloaded sources
      from OpenOffice site, configured them and launched Make in hope to debug
      spadmin, but compillation craches and I can do nothing.
The same problem with Wine and Lazarus: no packages for AMD64 and compillation
fails.
I don't know is this problem specific to UBUNTU or for all Linuxes
