I suspect this problem is specific to URW fonts -- will verify and report back.
If this is the case, then which version of gsfonts do you have installed? Does 'debsums -csl gsfonts' produce any output? I'm using
8.14+v8.11-0.1 (current unstable).
I just notice that the `print directly' button does not work at all in fact none of printing works at all -- I need to export to ps / pdf and print the exported file. How do I rule out a misconfiguration problem?
Debian openoffice is using the native CUPS support. If you haven't got CUPS installed, then edit /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf and uncomment the "export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1" line. When that line is uncommented, you can run oopadmin to setup printers, whereas by default it pulls all of the printer info from CUPS.
