cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program

as root

./spadmin

select 'New Printer'
select on 'Add a printer' > Next
in the driver window select 'Generic printer'>Next
In the command line box enter
qtcups --stdin
Pick a name for your printer, and you are done

Now in OpenOffice you will see the new printer. When you select it you will 
see a dialogue box offering you any of the printers known to CUPS including 
the pdf and fax peudo printers.
