Renaud....after installing SO as root there should've been a
menu selection in K-menu (under office) called 'staroffice
setup' that you used to install SO as a user. Along with
that menu selection there should also be 2 more, 'staroffice'
(to execute staroffice) and 'staroffice printer setup' (to
setup printers for staroffice). You need to use the
'staroffice printer setup' menu selection to setup a default
printer for star office.
