Additional printers don't work

Hi folks,

I'm facing quite a strange problem here:
I have the German version of OOo 1.1.1 running under FreeBSD 5.2.1. I added
some new printers with ppd files as root via spadmin. The new printers work
fine when running OOo as root. However, when running as a user OOo gives me
"Could not get printer PPD file!" and removes the new printers from the
selection list within OOo. Of course the PPDs are there and they are
accessible for the user. Actually they shouldn't be needed anyway (imho),
because their contents was copied into
/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.1/share/psprint/psprint.conf

So my questions are: 
Is this a known problem?
Does anyone else see this?
How can I fix it?
