There is a Bugzilla report at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124655 It was initially prompted by the FC removal of spadmin, which was required by OO.org to setup and configure printers. This step was taken presumably as part of the incremental progress toward integration with CUPS. It was not without issues initially, as you will note from some of the BZ comments, including my own. I temporarily retreated to OO.org's own release, including the recent 1.1.3 version. However, I am now back to the new FC version, which as I mention is largely fixed. There are still some lingering issues (also noted in the BZ comments), but it is at least working now. Unfortunately, I am not running GNOME (I am using the current CVS version of Xfce), so I cannot comment on your particular issue. HTH, Marc
