The Libreoffice Printer Dialog is attached to comment #2.
So far so good.

The Libreoffice Printer Dialog is still the attached to comment #2.
The printer list is not refreshed. Some libreoffice internal cache.
3 - Close every instance of libreoffice running and start it again.
The Libreoffice Printer Dialog is the attached to comment #3.
This is what was expected on step 2.
This seems to be the same bug in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/911235,
except that it does not work in this situation.
As I mentioned, this is present for many years now.

Title:
Libreoffice does not update printer list
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When Libreoffice is started it reads the printer list and saves it.
When there is a change related to cups (new printers) or change the cups
server, libreoffice needs to be restarted (all insteances) to acknowledge the
new printers.
When I change offices, I need to update the /etc/cups/client.conf (or use a
localhost cups server at home).
If I have libreoffice open, it will not find any printer.
This is a duplicated issue of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/911235
But that was focused on a specific printer model while the problem is more
abroad.
I have seen it from 12.04 to 15.10.
Libreoffice 3.x to 5.x
