You need to run 'spadmin' as superuser. I should be located in the same folder as 'soffice'. Now let's go get the your printer's driver. If you're using LM8.0, you need to unzip (gzip -d filename.gz) /usr/share/cups/model/HP/DeskJet_882C-cdj880.ppd.gz into a new folder where 'spadmin' can use your printer driver file. Back to 'spadmin'... Run it from SU console: spadmin& . Once there, select the [Install new driver...] button. Browse to location of printer driver and select it. Back to spadmin; select [Add new printer] button to select printer. Then in the "Installed printers" window, make the new printer Default. Close SPADMIN. Go back to Staroffice and select from menu: files -> printer setup. Verify that the new printer has been selected. That's it!!! From that, resolution and a variety of other things can be adjusted prior to printing.
