Same problem for me - and only in OpenOffice. I use an HP K5400 printer
on Ubuntu 9.0.4 and OO 3.0.1. I got some hints on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505146. Especially:

>>This presumably is because those HP .ppds don't support Type42, i.e. no
>>*TTRasterizer:  Type42
>>line 

and

>>Ok, I found out that it seems to work if I download the PPD file from
>>linuxprinting.org and install it with system-config-printer-kde.

So I downloaded the PPD file from linuxprinting.org and replaced the
content of /etc/cups/ppd/Officejet-Pro-K5400.ppd with the content of the
downloaded file (this file contains the TTrasterizer line). Now restart
cups:

   sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

Problem solved!!!!

It seems that the cups PPD compiler has selected the wrong PPD file as I found 
a line:
   *FoomaticIDs: "HP-Business_Inkjet_1000 hpijs"
in the original ppd.
