Is there a way to send a printing to lpd with OpenOffice on DFBSD? There

the print into a file and then do a lpr myself.
never tried this myself, but you might try either:

1) softlinking /compat/linux/usr/bin/lp to /usr/bin/lp
2) writing a /compat/linux/usr/bin/lp shell script that
   calls e.g. 'exec /usr/bin/lp $*'
this assumes openoffice uses lp to start with..
which I'd think it does, but anyway..
good luck.
