Maybe a new ./configure - switch ala --disable-psprint-drivers could be 
introduced.
(Note, that there already exist a switch to disable packaging of the Vera fonts
in  ~/m109/share/fonts/truetype, so the proposed idea might not be too strange).

On recent linux distros there already are plenty of ttf files available.
Additionally users today can use CUPS as printing backend.
Consequently we could strip of *.afm fonts and *.ps printer drivers from OOo
package without removing functionality and at the same time reducing OOo in
package size. (Startup time would also improve slightly depending on individual
setup):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/m109/share> du -sh psprint/
7,7M    psprint/

In concreto the following directories would need to be excluded when postprocess
ing after compilation:
/m109/share/psprint/driver
/m109/share/psprint/fontmetric
