My interpretation of what you said is:  Download a development version and run
it just to create a working psprint.conf file which I can then remove from that
configuration and copy to the users' directories on the 3.4.1 installation.

If that is correct, I don't think I can use that as a workaround because I have
over 150 users on the machine.  I have need to set up a global psprint.conf,
instead, that will affect all users at once.  I might be able to somehow copy a
model directory to each user, but just adding one new printer on my system
would become a nightmare of complexity.

* I have proven that the global/system-wide psprint.conf file is being honored
and can be edited.  It just has that problem where I can't set PS level 2 or
"default".

* The psprint.conf file is just a text file.  Can you tell me what about the
"trunk" version file is different from the 3.4.1 file?  Knowing that, I should
be able to edit the global file to obtain the same results without having to
install a "trunk" version, right?

NEW INFORMATION.....
I also discovered that I don't have to specify any printers AT ALL in the
globalbasis-link/share/psprint/psprint.conf file!  There is a variable under
"[__Global_Printer_Defaults__]"  called  "PSLevel" and that will automatically
change EVERY printer for OpenOffice, even when none are listed in the
psprint.conf file :)    Only problem- it has the same bug, 0 = PDF, and 3 =
<blank> :(

But to make matters even more interesting, I tested printing to a file with
this "blank" entry (with PSLevel=3) and guess what.... it is creating
postscript level 3, identical [checked with diff] to a file created to "print
to file" with it manually set to "postscript level 3"  :)   But that leads to
another concern- if I try to use this as a workaround, any new documents
created would have a print language set to <blank> saved in them and I am not
sure how future versions of Open/Libre Office will deal with that (or older
versions even).  I will have to test more.
