Which CUPS packages do you have installed?  I am using CUPS here and 
OpenOffice + all other apps print just fine.  Specifically, do you have 
the cupsys-bsd package installed?  This package allows printing via CUPS 
from apps that are looking for a BSD-style printing system.

I am willing to compare setups, but will need a bit more info about yours...
