[wplug] OpenOffice: Cannot install PDF Converter Printer

I followed the directions in the OpenOffice manual on setting up a PDF 
Converter.  Basically, it said to open up spadmin and create a new 
printer that would point to the PDF driver and become a "PDF Printer".

I did this, ran a test page, and it worked fine.

But the printer I created is not showing up in the list of printers in 
the Print dialogue box when I try to Print a file to a PDF.

I closed OpenOffice and openned it again, but to no avail.

According to the manual, the printer should be showing up in the 
pull-down menu of available printers.  It is not.

Initially, when starting spadmin as user "sugapablo", spadmin did not 
save my printer.  I started spadmin as root and it did save the printer 
in it's menu the next time I openned spadmin.  Perhaps that's part of 
the issue?  But then, how would I transfer those rights to "sugapablo"? 
  (I don't know if this has anything to do with it at all, but I thought 
I'd mention it.)

Any ideas?
