Here is my ~/.padminrc file:

    [KnownPrinterCommands]
    0=lp -s
    1=lp
    2=lp -s -d "_default"

I renamed both .padminrc and .openoffice.org2 and restarted writer.  It
went through the normal initialization process for a new user.  I then
started spadmin.  When spadmin initially came up it showed only the
_default printer and it did indeed list it as the SGENPRT driver you
previously mentioned but a few moments later spadmin had searched for
existing printers and showed ps, hpgl, hp755 and _default entries and now
all were listed as having CUPS drivers once again!

It looks like StarOffice 7 is installed in /usr/staroffice7, but that is
not in my path and it is certain that I am running /opt/csw/bin/spadmin.

However, if I run /usr/staroffice7/program/spadmin, then it comes up
showing only the "Generic Printer (Default printer)" with a command of
"lp" and the SGENPRT driver.  It makes no attempt to obtain printers from
the lp system.  When I click on New Printer, it will let me add a printer,
unlike the CSW spadmin which has it greyed out.  It looks like the CSW
program sees what it thinks is CUPS and wants printer administration to be
done through that facility and not through spadmin.
