Printing with HP Hpjis and OpenOffice


Hello,

I was able to locate the HP driver (HP-Deskjet-5650.ppd) and tell Openoffice with ./spadmi to use this printer as the default. However, I am not sure what I should put in when Openoffice asks me: Please enter a command line appropiate for this device

I put in the default: lpr BUT i get this (i c the error in console):

root@yeti:/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0 ./spadmin
Status Information, attempt 1 of 3:
sending job 'root@yeti+707' to Deskjet_5650@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
cannot open connection to localhost - No such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Waiting 10 seconds before retry
Status Information, attempt 2 of 3:
sending job 'root@yeti+707' to Deskjet_5650@localhost
connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1
cannot open connection to localhost - No such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Waiting 10 seconds before retry etc...


My printer works fine with CUPS with ANY other application (It prints great!)..but i have to use openoffice for my presentations. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be enormously appreciated. Thank u for your time

I actually did some more research and the answer is put this in the command: lpr-cups It works great now.
