find the spadmin application in the open office tree, confusingly this isnt in /usr/bin:
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/spadmin run this, choose properties, click on the (system configured) lpr command in the list box, mine is 'lpr -P "LaserJet-4100-Series-v.3010.107-Postscript-(recommended)" and hit ok. For a future fix, I reckon part of the oo install should pick the default system printer and configure accordingly, this is is just plain obscure to fix, ubuntu post-install script launch of spadmin perhaps? -- OpenOffice print icon always selects defunct Generic printer, not the system default https://launchpad.net/bugs/50309 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
