At that time a lot of people complained that they could print from everything 
except OO.  It didn't user either kprinter or CUPS, of course.  You had to 
'install' the printer (and additional fonts) by using a dotfile from 
somewhere.  I can't remember the details.  It reminded me of the DOS days, 
when every app had to have its printer install done.
