A little better explanation of my last post.  I have TWO printers attached to 
my network. One is a HP LaserJet 4si the other is a Brother MFC 5440cn.  
Neither printer is connected to a computer.

As this is a new install in took me some time to get around to setting up 
printing.  I set the HP up some time before the Brother because drivers are 
included in the distro (Debian testing) for the HP.   I printed a test page 
and everything seamed fine.

Some days later, after downloading the drivers from Brother I set that one up.  
I was not surprised when it wouldn't print because I have had problems with 
it before (buggy version of cups).  Part of the drivers are converted to 64 
and part are not.

I was doing some experimenting, saving the OOo on another box and trying to 
print it from there to see if the file was corrupted.  On a wim I sent it to 
the non working Brother and it printed.  Both the native OOo and the exported 
pdf will print.

So what I thought was an OOo problem has turned out to be something much more 
bizzar.  I am not sure where the problem is.  Any Ideas?  

Thanks
