Hi, this is not a bug. You cannot add a printer in Openoffice, when it finds cups installed on your system. It even happens if it only detects libcups* which is installed for compatibility-reasons when using gnome
However, it is possible, to add printers and use them with cups: Edit /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf, and uncomment the native CUPS printing support in the last line: export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1 Now you can add your printer with oopadmin and it will work.
