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?

I'm going to be shouted at for this, but it needs to be said, because it
may tell you what's really causing the problem.

In the past I always put the servername into client.conf. A couple of
months ago I was told very firmly that I was wrong to do so, as it would
stop printer-browsing occurring. I don't have any local printers, so it
had never caused me any problems, but, bowing to the experience of
others, I removed the reference. Everything seemed to work well enough,
so I wasn't worried.

You can pint to any remote printer on the same lan with or without the
defining of the Server in the client.conf file. You can'r print to
remote printers on as different lan without the server defined. With the
server defined you can't print to a local printer. As long as you are
dealing with remote printers on the same Lan the answer to printing
under cup to a remote printer is to do nothing. It works out of the box
so to speak.

No, it doesn't. That's the whole point. It does for many apps, but not for
OpenOffice.
