Marcia,
I can print here with the instruction from a command line lpr -P printer6
In xpp I point to printer 6
In StarOffice, rather than set up where I can use a network bank of printers
with utter flexibility, I just connected the "generic printer" to the
instruction lpr -P printer6, because it is the only one I ever print to.
Your situation should be similar, since you have one printer. Use kedit to
make a page and click print then choose "Print using command" and put in
lpr -P (the name you use for your printer in cups/xpp) #you may need to
experiment a bit
Once that prints, make the same connection in StarOffice from the generic
printer (you can rename the generic printer, but do NOT choose any of
StarOffice's drivers, let cups supply the driver) then you should be able to
print, though not on a printer halfway round the planet which is one of the
capabilities of cups.
