I did some digging and the printer list is pulled when I first hit CONTROL-P (File->Print).
So, if I change the client.conf before trying to use the printer, it will get the current list even after it has started up. It will not update any time later on. -- 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/1568339 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.
