On the working server this is true but on the problem server I see:
SGENPRT

NOT on the problem server - when I run:
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/spadmin
as root on the problem server I only see the generic printer listed - I
don't see any of the others that ARE listed with:

Correct.

"cups printer section" - what do you mean? there are only ppd files in:
/etc/cups/ppd

There is no psprint.conf file anywhere under:
~phil/.openoffice.org2

That is the current situation . .

There must be some simple solution - the two servers were installed in
much the same way (as far as I can remember) but on the working server
OO shows printer types of "CUPS:name" and on the problem server OO shows
"SGENPRT" and with spadmin on the working server all printers are listed
and on the problem one only the generic printer . .
Thanks,
Phil.
