For what it's worth, I've found, at least with OO 2.x that it will
choose the default printer--I believe it'll call it generic printer. It
actually sometimes does a better job, apparently (this is simply
repeating what I've been told) because it uses postscript 2, even if a
printer doesn't have postscript capability--therefore, for example, it
can print Japanese when the printer generally can't print out Asian
characters.
However, you might have to specifically define the printer as your
default printer in your ${PREFIX}/cups/printers.conf. (The ${PREFIX} is
usually /etc, but on some systems, /usr/local/etc, or /opt/etc, or
something similar.)
