Fortunately that's not completely true. Writer never accesses a printer except when - the user changes printer settings - the user asks for printing Calc and Impress still have a problem. Calc accesses the printer everytime when a document is modified the first time, Draw/Impress do it everytime when the document is saved the first time. On opening a document (regardless which application) OOo will access the printer only if - the user has selected "printer metrics" for formatting (default is off for all applications in OOo2, war partly different in OOo1.x) - the document contains printer settings (stored in settings.xml) - the document has an old format where using printer metrics was the default This will be fixed in OOo2.3. In case you see a printer access though none of the mentioned cases apply I would be interested in getting more information.
