OOo ignores options in lpoption, CanoniR3225

[openoffiiceuser]

hi!

We have Mandriva 2008.1 official release installed on PC with OpenOffice 2.4.1;
Everything was setup with default options.

Recently the company bought the CanoniR3225 printer and we can't configure OO to work properly with that printer.
We installed the latest drivers from http://software.canon-europe.com/.

The problem is that OO ignores options in lpoptions( such as CNJobExecMode, CNMailBox ) but CanoniR3225 refuses to print without these options set up correctly.
Printing from other applications(Acroread, xpdf, Kwrite, thunderbird, gimp) works perfectly.
Printing from command line works perfectly( lp -d CanoniR3225 -o CNJobExecMode=store -o CNMailBox=11 -o PageSize=A4 document.pdf)

Please help.

Thanks a lot.

As far as I understand, OOo primarily supports CUPS as the system printing manager (for Linux/Unix & Macs, at least), so I'm guessing that the best approach to fixing the problem lies in configuring CUPS.

I'm not sure what the status is for support of older printing systems, but there may be some low-level access to modify the print command that OOo uses.
