Description of problem:
Had a hard time with OO on RH8.0. Simply doesn't create PDFs. I also posted a
bug report to OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6829)
, but by now it seems it is an integration problem into RH:
In /usr/lib/openoffice/spadmin I created the default printer lpr (a LaserJet)
and the PDF-converter. The user can print to the LaserJet, but no PDF is created
in the target directory. I found, that the PDF had been created in the default
("My Documents") directory. 
Then I ran ~.openoffice/spadmin and set the PDF-directory again, and now nothing
is created nowhere (slocate updated is my friend). Only straightforward printing
to LaserJet still works, even printing to a file is out of question (simply
nothing is produced).
I only renamed the default printer (su) to LaserJet 5 and now LaserJet 5 *and*
the old "Generic Printer" show up in spadmin (user), none of which can be
removed. Okay for the PDF-converter and the LaserJet 5; but how (where) to
remove the former "Generic Printer" which is not available under spadmin (su)
and not removable in spadmin (user). I also set A4 as default for PDF-converter,
but the printer applet always falls back to Letter. A big hole of a mess, by now.

How to reset the settings for spadmin for both su and user?
And then, thereafter: how to make the PDF-converter produce PDFs again?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  No printing to file, no PDF-conversion

Expected Results:  Consistent setup (spadmin) for su and user to permit creation
of PDF and printing to a file. Plus a clear reset function that erases all
printers, at least as su.
