I asked the maintainer and he says it'll be because you aren't using

Even though gnome etc is installed? Hmm.

*shrug* Ask Caolan.

When I first tried to print from it the print queue that announces itself
as installed by hal was the only one on which I could change the
properties, and on which the print button wasn't greyed out. Once I had
changed some properties that too became greyed out. So far I haven't
managed to find any way to print from this install of OOo.

Are you running KDE?

I should also say that have only remote printers. I'm guessing that OOo
needs something more to communicate with them.

Printing from OOo to a remote printer works fine here (in that I can
print to it). No extra actions needed; the remote queue is detected by
the local CUPS server and it just appears in the OOo print dialog as
expected. But, I'm using GNOME.

Do you think it sounds like you're experiencing bug #213119?

It looks very much like it, which is why I was looking for the 'fix'
recommended. I tried the python command, too, which returned:

python -c "import cups;c=cups.Connection();print c.getPPD('Draft')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
cups.IPPError: (1280, 'server-error-internal-error')

Does that tell you anything?
