Are you accessing printers using CUPS? I had the same problem when printing from a CUPS client (both Libreoffice and Openoffice).
The cause seems to be CUPS server closing the client connection after 300seconds of idle. When the client tries to print or retrieve printer list after the connection had closed, the operation silently fails. Tcpdump shows CUPS server sending TCP Reset for the client, and the client does not appear to reissue the failed request. Workaround for this is to set Timeout option to large value in CUPS server cupsd.conf. This might be a CUPS client side issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762917 Title: Printing from OpenOffice or LibreOffice needs two calls to realy print Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org 1. create a new document. 2. File -> Print --- the printer list is empty except for the default printer. 3. abort. 4. File -> Print --- this time the drop down dialog holds all printers, you can select the one you want. 5. File -> Print --- this time the drop down dialog holds the default printer. 6. File -> Print --- this time the drop down dialog holds the printer selected last. This is alt least annoying, but not fatal, since you can print to the printer you'd like to use, but you'll have to open the print dialog twice, aborting it the first time.
