I've never had any problems printing from OO.o using cups.  I just
installed the cups packages, used the web interface to install a
printer, and it just worked.

In Debian, there is a package called cupsys-bsd, which includes the BSD
command-line printing commands, like lpr, lpq, etc.  Is it possible you
don't have these installed?
