Printing from OOo to a remote printer works fine here (in that I can
print to it).  No extra actions needed; the remote queue is detected by
the local CUPS server and it just appears in the OOo print dialog as
expected.  But, I'm using GNOME.

Do you think it sounds like you're experiencing bug #213119?
