I'm also wrestling with a problem that is similar and may be related, but may not. In my case, I use A4 sheets in a HP laserjet printer with Suse 10.0 either on a desktop machine with the printer attached to its parallel port, or from a laptop across a network through CUPS on the desktop. Same printer connected the same way in both cases. If I print an old document, everything works fine from either machine. If I print a new text document from the laptop it is also OK. But when I print a _new_document_ from the desktop it reverts to US letter, and then only after several seconds of cpu bound thinking by both cupsd and soffice.bin. After that the two seem to loop together for ever. Only by closing OOo completely does it come out of it. (I used top to see what was using cpu.) None of the log files seem to show any problems. At first I thought it must be cups or something, but no other application shows anything like these symptoms; so I'm moving towards thinking it is the way OOo interrogates cups to get printer information.
