Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-base

The set of CUPS printers available on the system seems to be only loaded
by OpenOffice during its startup.

If, during work with any OpenOffice applications, a new printer is added
to CUPS (wither locally, or on a remote CUPS server which is polled by
the local workstation), OpenOffice cannot see that new printer until it
is restarted - that is, all instances of oocalc, oowriter, ooimpress,
oodraw, oobas etc. have to be closed.

On the other hand, all KDE applications always display the current set
of available printers when bringing up a print dialog and don't require
restarting.

** Affects: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
