Public bug reported:

What I expected to happen: printing a spreadsheet from Libreoffice Calc
would print it.

What happened instead: Nothing was printed, but libreoffice displayed
the string 'gtk printer' on the xterm console from which it was invoked,
and left a directory and file '/tmp/luppt6wq.tmp/luppt6ws.tmp' behind.
The .tmp file is an exact copy of the .ods spreadsheet with which LO was
invoked.

The CUPS printer manager and logs in /var/log/cups do not show a job
corresponding to my attempt to print and I have no problem printing via
other apps such as Firefox. I do not believe this is a CUPS issue.

Attempting to do 'Page Preview' from within LO on the same spreadsheet
comes up with a blank gray background rather than a preview.

I believe this behavior to have begun after my most recent package
update which seems to have pulled in a new version of the libreoffice
binary relative to the original Ubuntu 12.04 installation.

The behavior is highly sensitive to the contents of the spreadsheet. I
have attached the offending document and it repeatably demonstrates the
print/page preview problem described. However, if the final sheet
("Sheet10") of the document is deleted, the problem goes away and
print/page preview function properly once again.
