Many thanks, Francesco, for pointing me to the snapshot packages. When I 
 handled Bug#282954 [or his frinds] and installed openoffice.org 
package, everything is fine.
It seems to me, it's bug in OpenOffice versions 1.1.3-3 up in handling 
cups printers and I'm VERY SURPRISED there is no one message from Debian 
OpenOffice Team how to handle this bug and what should be done. I think, 
printing from Writer or Calc is one of the essential features. Silence 
makes me very unhappy.
Thank you once more
