Default Network Print: Test Page from Yast works, but not from app

Hi,

Linux 2.6.27.23-0.1-default x86_64
Network is functioning fine.
Printing thru Linksys WPSM54G print server to Canon MP830 printer.
Using driver "Canon with driver Canon PIXMA MP830 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.2"
Printing a test page from Yast>Hardware>Printer works fine.
But when I try to print from OpenOffice, it acts like it prints, the queue clears out, but the printer never wakes up -- as if nothing was transmitted.
Same behavior when I try to print a test page via System > Configuration > Printing -- it acts like it's spooling, & the print queue empties, but the printer is just sitting idle.
I thought maybe it was a permissions problem, but I tried logging in to Linux as root, and have the same behavior.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
