It's been there since at least version 5.  (StarOffice 5, pre OOo.)
search for spadmin the OOo help and there are some docs.  (If your
help is working).

For me the default printer has a driver of "SGENPRT".

Try "New Printer", "Add a printer".  When you add new printers what
drivers does each offer?

The drivers correspond to files in
    /opt/csw/OpenOffice.org/share/psprint/driver
I can't find any reference to CUPS here.


The users settings are stored in:
    ~/.openoffice.org2/user/psprint/psprint.conf

Mine starts:
[Generic Printer]
Printer=SGENPRT/Generic Printer
DefaultPrinter=1
Location=
Comment=
Command=lp
-d laser

The command is easy to change.  Highlight printer, "Properties...", and
type the command in the box or select from the list below the box.

The driver belongs to the printer so add a new printer.
