Bug description:
== Problem ==
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.
== Analysis ==
LibreOffice loses it's TCP connection to CUPS after exactly 5 minutes of inactivity and does not manage to reconnect. To reproduce: print something (to a real printer or cups-pdf), wait 6 minutes not printing anything, and print again. Then, nothing is printed. You can watch the TCP connection using
netstat -tpn | grep soffice
While it's working, it looks like this:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:48810 127.0.0.1:631 ESTABLISHED 13976/soffice.bin
After 5 minutes, that connection is gone permanently.
WORKAROUND: To set the timeout to 24 hours add this line to the top of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf :
Timeout 62400
