Just did a full upgrade to 16.04.
cups is 2.1.3-4
libreoffice is 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1  (5.1.2.2)
The scenario:
1 - Cups is my localhost:

        raul@nostromo:~$ cat /etc/cups/client.conf
        raul@nostromo:~$ lpstat -a
        EPSON_L355_Series accepting requests since Sáb 23 Abr 2016 17:22:15 BRT

        Xerox_Phaser_3200MFP accepting requests since Sáb 05 Mar 2016 15:31:34 
BRT

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

2 - Change client.conf to use a remote server:

        raul@nostromo:~$ cat /etc/cups/client.conf
        ServerName impressoras2
        raul@nostromo:~$ lpstat -a

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
