Hi,
OOo 2 tries the following:
- try to load libcups.so.2 (the CUPS library)
- try to resolve the needed CUPS API symbols
- call cupsGetDests (basically get a list of know CUPS printers)
if all of these steps succeed, then CUPS is used for printing, else OOo
falls back to the older stuff it used before CUPS support was added
(including its own PPD files, mostly SGENPRT)
The first step should succeed if CUPS is installed, libcups is usually
installed in /usr/lib or so.
The second step could only fail if you for instance used a much older
CUPS version on the system where things fail.
The third setp fails if CUPS does not list the printers, this can be due
to not opened ports in the firewall, the cups daemon not running etc.
basically if "lpc status" on the command line works and shows at least
one printer (and you are sure that you are running the CUPS version of
lpc), then CUPS should also work in OOo.
Kind regards, pl

People,
How do I force OOo2 to use CUPS as the default printer instead of
SGENPRT (/opt/openoffice.org2.0/share/psprint/driver/SGENPRT.PS)?
Thanks,
Phil.
