If there is one thing I hate about OpenOffice it's the silly printer spadmin thing.
I am running OpenOffice 1.1.3, I am not running OpenOffice2 yet because Ubuntu haven't released the AMD64 OOo2 packages yet.
On my SuSE install I had it set up (or SuSE had it set up) to print to kprinter so that rather than having to set up my printers with spadmin I could just print through the KDE printer dialogue.
Is there a way to achieve the same sort of thing with Gnome...i.e. print in such a way that it launches the Gnome print dialogue ?
Following on from my post, It looks there there is an AMD64 specific bug that breaks spadmin and native printing from OpenOffice.

If anyone can come up with a more elegant solution than printing to a file and then lpr filename or if there is a way to launch the gnome print dialogue from within OpenOffice then I'd be pleased to hear about it.
