OK, in that case you will be able to work around this problem by adding
this line to /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf:

export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1

Also, please will you see if your crash occurs again if you replace
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libpsp645li.so with the version here:

http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/test/libpsp645li.so.bz2

It fixes several bugs in the printer parsing code.

I'm downgrading to important on the assumption that you can use
SAL_DISABLE_CUPS to work around the problem.

Thanks,
Chris
