To my knowledge, this is because Star Office will then generate
postscript, which is interpreted by apsfilter through gs into
bitmap, which is sent to the printer.

To fix this, either buy a PostScript printer ( :) ), or configure
Star Office so that the appropriate driver is used. Printing
postscript is the best way (UNIX way), since it's very portable: just
change the OS (apsfilter) driver, and everyone is happy. However it's
a bit slower.

Look with `top' (in an xterm) to see what processes use memory,
if it's gs, it's the beforementionned ``problem''. Else, you maybe
run an old version of the kernel with the lp-polling CPU-bound
bugs.
