This works for me, too, and I appreciate it a lot because I can now use both my printers easily form OOo, but ...

... I can't get at some of my printer settings from OOo. I have an Epson 980, which is not listed by spadmin. It will print if I call it Generic, but I can't change resolution, etc. If I use the Epson 800 driver from spadmin, I get some more control, but not everything that's available from CUPS (which is what I'm using). Where does spadmin get its driver list? can drivers be added to it?

This is a litlle bit unintuitive, but here's how I do it...

If you dont remember the "names" of the printers do a

#cat /etc/printcap

and look for the lines beginning like...
Server_HP|lp:\
PDF_print:\

They should be the first line for each entry.

Then in the spadmin choose "New Printer" then "add printer"

When it asks you for the "Command line appropriate..." enter

lpr -P <printername>

so for the above mentioned examples it would be...

lpr -P PDF_print
and
lpr -P Server_HP

Click next, name the printer and click finish. Test. All should work fine.

Hope that helps.
