So when will the code be unlocked for printing?

I can print till the cows come home in 5.2, but
obviously it's "DISABLED" for some reason in these
builds.??

As I've seen in printing.dev. This seems to be your issue
Comment 4 oisinboydell 2001-02-26 10:52:30 UTC 
The printing solution for Linux/Unix in StarOffice uses proprietry code so this
was removed for OpenOffice.org. A replacement printing solution using Xprint is
available (there is an alternative also being developed). To use Xprint in
OpenOffice.org, an environment variable USE_XPRINT must be set to TRUE when
building the vcl module. However, the Xprint code didn't make it into the source
code of OpenOffice.org build 619 but I am fixing this now. Check dev@printing
.openoffice.org for an announcement when the Xprint code has been put into 619
(cvs tag OO619B). Also look at http://printing.openoffice.org for instructions
on using Xprint with OpenOffice.org.

I have checked in the Xprint code into CVS branch OO619B. There are 13 modified 
files all in the vcl module:

vcl/unx/inc/i18n_im.hxx
vcl/unx/inc/prex.h
vcl/unx/inc/salbmp.hxx
vcl/unx/source/app/saldisp.cxx
vcl/unx/source/app/salinst.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/salbmp.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/salconfig.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/salgdi.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/salgdi2.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/salgdi3.cxx
vcl/unx/source/gdi/makefile.mk
vcl/util/makefile.mk
vcl/util/target.pmk

Just rebuild the updated vcl module with environment variable USE_XPRINT set to 
TRUE, copy the newly built vcl library (libvclXXX.so) into the program directory 
of your OpenOffice.org installation (over-write or move the old one) and next 
time you start OpenOffice.org you will have Xprint support. See 
www.printing.openoffice.org for more info on using Xprint.

If anyone wants a pre-built vcl library with Xprint support for Linux or Solaris 
so they do not have to build it themselves I can email them a copy (mail me 
about this, not the list).

Known Issues:
- If you specify the printer name and xprint server with XPRINTER instead of 
XPDISPLAY (see www.printing.openoffice.org) then OpenOffice.org may Abort.

- If you have more than one printer defined in your printer list (with 
printtool) then OpenOffice.org may not print to the correct printer or worse, 
Abort.
