If you use magicfilter, then that will take care of the PostScript -> Printer conversion for you. I believe that apsfilter serves the same function - somebody pls correct me if I'm wrong. Then it can be set up in StarOffice as a "generic printer". How is the printer configured in StarOffice? (run spadmin as root) Do you get anything out on stdout/stderr?
