this problem apears with cupsys 1.1.22-8 on my system too. downgrading to 1.1.20final+rc1-10 fixes it. since 1.1.22-8 is now in testing i think the serverity of this bug should be important (if it is a openoffice.org bug) 1.1.20final+rc1-10 is still available here: http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/10/22/debian/pool/main/c/cupsys/
