i have a 3port-printserver (LPD), works great  :-)

see the magic:
# service cups stop
--> i only have a generic printer in  OOo

# system-config-printer
add your remote-printer
# service cups start
--> i have all remote printers available in OOo  without spadmin

i use spadmin only for additional fonts
