We run linux clients that connect to a central print server. I found
this works:
1) Install cups server on the clients.
2) On clients turn on "Show printers shared by other systems" in web
interface or in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseAddress server:631
# *** NOTE I've added an entry that points directly to our main cups server -
to speed up discovery.
3) On clients add a "BrowseAddress server:631" that points directly to
your cups server. Change "server" to addres of your cups server. ( see
above )
4) On clients comment out all entries in /etc/cups/client.conf . This
will force cups to use /var/run/cups/cups.sock on the client.
Generally works because libreoffice doesn't communicate over TCP:631, rather
directly to the local socket and the client<=>server communication is done via
cupsd<=>cupsd:
Client Libreoffice ...
=>local-cups(with browsing on listening on /var/un/cups/cups.sock) ...
=>server:631 browsing cups ...
=>printer.
It uses a bit more RAM on the client to run the cups server but RAM is not as
much of an issue these days.

Title:
after certain time printing to cups stops working
Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
New
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
in our institution we are running only printers through a cups server.
while freshly opened document prints well, after some time (few
minutes) clicking "print file directly" and menu item "print" do not
work any more. after close and open again, thing prints correctly. i
have checked what exactly is going on in such cases and logs on the
cups server don't show any submissions and/or errors so that the thing
is obviously stopped at the level of libreoffice.
