  OO.o can be a major PITA to configure properly and consistently. As root
you need to run spdadmin to set up the printers. You also need to define the
layout you want -- including page size and margins -- and save that as the
default. I find all this to be rather ugly and a bother each time I upgrade,
but that's the price to be paid for slavishly following Microsoft.
