Chris, if OOo crashes only for a certain printer this does not say that
the crash happens withing libcups or OpenOffice.org. The PPDs have a lot
of sdata items and strings which are different from printer to printer
and for printer X a PostScript code snippet assigned to an option
setting can be too long for a data structure of OOo's printing dialog
and for printer Y all PostScript snippets are short enough. I am not
sure, but as far as I remember OOo inserts the PostScript code defined
in the PPD files into PostScript output and does not only send
"<option>=<choice>" pairs along with the job as IPP attributes (what
other printing dialogs do). Am I right? But even the case that OOo
displays the options in the printing dialog can cause a crash depending
on which PPD is used.

Until assigning it to one of the two packages a symbolic backtrace is
needed which shows whether the crash happens in OOo's code or in
libcups. So please check at first where the crash is actually located.

** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
