Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-9
Followup-For: Bug #290016

The CUPS remote printer must be detected when OOo is launched, or the
printer will not be recognized until OOo is restarted. If the remote
printer is online before OOo is launched, all is fine.

On my network, OOo on computer A (sarge) prints to a remote printer on
computer B. As long as B is online when A is started and OOo is
started, printing is fine.

However if computer B is subsequently started after computer A, the
printer will not be visible to OOo in computer A.

$ lpstat -a on computer A correctly shows the remote printer status in
all cases, so the bug is in OOo and not in cupsys.

OOo apparently only checks for available printers at startup.

Hope this helps.
