+Printing
+========
+
+Printing on CUPS systems
+------------------------
+The Debian packages include native CUPS support from version 1.1.1-3. This
+will be standard in all OOo versions from 2.0, and is backported from the
+2.0 development branch. When OOo detects a CUPS system, it will download
+printer settings for all CUPS queues, and these can be set from within the
+printer properties dialog.
+
+If you wish to add additional filters or print commands, you can add them
+using 'oopadmin'. Note that the 'Add a printer' option is disabled - you
+should add printers using your favourite CUPS frontend.
+
+When creating a new document, OOo will use the default paper size of your
+default CUPS printer queue. If your new documents have the wrong paper size,
+please check the configuration of your printer.
+
+The native CUPS support is still new and not as mature as the generic printing
+support. If you have printing problems that may be caused by the CUPS support,
+you can disable it by adding this line to /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf:
+
+export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1
+
+
+Non-CUPS systems (lpr, lprng, SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1)
+---------------------------------
There is a tool supplied with OpenOffice.org for setting up printers. You can
execute this with the command
oopadmin
-If you are using CUPS and install the cupsys-bsd package, OpenOffice.org will
-automatically detect your printer queues.
-
-Page size and other default settings
-------------------------------------
-To change these, modify /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf. The settings are
-documented in there.
