I reported this bug to OOo.  It's in their bugzilla.  They say there is a
known issue if you run spadmin before running OOo normally.

In my particular case, the psprint directory doesn't even exist (in the 
heirarchy
below my home directory - I didn't check /usr/local).  I checked permissions
off my home directory and everything was fine, with the exception of the
missing psprint directory.
