I know this is not a helpful reply, but on my FC6 machine I can print
from OO to the local and remote printer. The bugzilla cited is really
about another problem. To get cups to print both to a local and remote
printer is a little tricky. It takes two actions:
1. the client.conf file can not have a print server defined. If it is
defined the local printer will not be seen.
2. To have a properly configured cupsd.conf file. In particular the
enabling of the browsing. Examples on demand.
