I realize I am replying to a really old mail. But I can still observe one of the issues described therein with the current 1.9m109 port:

>>3) My printer additions are not being recorded.  I run spadmin and
>>   add a printer.  The next time I run spadmin it does not appear.

The printer settings are stored in the following file:

/usr/local/openoffice.org1.9m109/share/psprint/psprint.conf

The problem is that this file gets installed with permissions set to 444 (read-only). Therefore, the printer administration program cannot edit it. One fix would be to set the permissions to 666. But then, any user could edit the global printer configuration. Maybe 644 would be a good compromise - root could set up printers and other users could only see the configuration, not change it. I think that's the way it worked in OpenOffice.org 1.1.x.
