James:

I never heard of spadmin and there is no manual page for it.  I'm pretty
sure I never ran this command before.  When I run it now it displays a
Printer Administration window that lists the printers I have defined by
my lpadmin system.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Printer Administration window shows the ps (Default printer) has
the command "lp -s" and the Driver is listed as "ps (CUPS:ps)".  When
I click on the Test Page button it says that the test page was printed
successfully, but nothing shows up in the print queue or at the printer.  I
see no way to alter either the Command or the Driver entry for the printers
using this tool.

Previously I was using the OpenOffice package I downloaded from the
OpenOffice.Org web site and everything worked fine.  I have never had CUPS
installed on this system and this is the first reference I have ever seen
to it.  As far as I can tell, it appears to be hardwired into the CSW
package.

I'm open to suggestions, but unsure how to proceed.
