Description of problem: When running an openoffice.org componant and a printer is added (automagically via cups detecting a new network printer for example), it is immediatly available in the printer selection part of the print... menu, however, when you actually try and print, it will send it to the default printer that was available when openoffice was started, not the selected printer (that came available since openoffice was started). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-core-2.0.2-5.2.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start openoffice (writer, impress, calc, whatever makes you happy) 2. Make a new printer available. The easiest way is to have the network unplugged/off before starting openoffice and then connecting so that network printers will become available. 3. Go to File -> Print. 4. Choose one of the newly available printers; click on any requested options; and print. Actual results: The print job is sent to the default printer that was available before openoffice was started. Expected results: The print job is sent to the printer selected in step 4 above.
So this is not issue 187528 ? Does it happen with gedit or any other application ?, What does rpm -q cups say ? Did this always happen, or start happening recently ?

I haven't tested *all* applications, but it doesn't happen with gedit. > What does rpm -q cups say? [matt@tbc ~]$ rpm -q cups cups-1.1.23-30.2 > Did this always happen, or start happening recently ? I *think* that it has always happened, but at first I was either in a hurry so once I did get it to print I didn't look into it more, or I mistook the problem for a fully improperly configured printer. Yesterday is the first time that I had a careful look at it.
I think I see the problem, a bit tricky but I reckon we can resolve this

I just got a chance to check this out. Thanks for the fix.
