Do you mean StarOffice 5.2? I got it to print like this:
setup your printer in CUPS. This should have been done at mdk8 installation,
but let's list it as a separate step, just in case
in SO, install "Generic Printer" and point it to default_queue (lpr).
Use the configure button to set it to the maximum dpi for your printer
in Wordperfect 8, you do the same thing, but install the "Passthru
Postscript" printer and point it to lp.
This is just from trial and error, btw - I won't claim really to know what
the heck I'm doing, but it seems to me that CUPS as the systemwide printer
driver and the drivers supplied by various apps can get into a disagreement
over who is in charge. By using these very generic PostScript drivers you
just deliver a Postscript file/stream to CUPS, which then prints it out. I
stand very much open to correction on this point (but until then, I am
printing quite happily!)
