The CSWcups package is not installed on this system, but CSWlibcups and
CSWlibgnomecups are installed, not directly by me, but apparently as a
dependency by some other packages.  

So even though I am not using the CUPS, OO searches for a cups library and
eventually finds one at:

	/opt/csw/lib/sparcv8/libcups.so.2

which it opens.

Also, when I run spadmin, it creates a ~/.cups/lpoptions file that stores
any modifications you make to the printer setup.  So, even though I didn't
install the CSWcups package, if the CSW version of OO finds the cups
library, then it apparently assumes that it is in use.

I did download and install OO 2.3 from the OpenOffice.org web site and
it does not exhibit any of these printer problems (although it has some
problems of its own).  It just shows a generic printer with the expected
SGENPRT driver and it prints properly.  When I truss this version, I don't
see any attempt to search for and load a cups library.
