[Bug 1419521] Re: LibreOffice 4.4.0.3 broke printing

 

Libreoffice (LO) installed in my desktop (Kubuntu 14.04 64 bit, KDElibs 4.14.2, Qt 4.8.6, Kernel 3.16.0-28-generic, Processor AMD 64 dual core 4600+, 4GB Ram) after update to 4.4.0.3 crashed when printing either to PDF printer (CUPS), to a laser printer, or print to file with the LO menu.
In my Laptop (Kubuntu 14.04 64 bit, KDElibs 4.14.2, Qt 4.8.6, Kernel 3.13.0-45-generic, Processor Intel 4core i5 M450) LO had no problem printing after the upgrade to 4.4.0.3. 
Initially I thought that would be a problem with CUPS in the desktop, as when printing to file selection of the print menu, it gave only the choice of printing to a PS file; the PDF file choice is gone.
Yesterday for some reason, in my desktop in LibreOffice I went to TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> PRINT and made sure the "Settings for printer" choice was selected, and made sure that I checked the box on "PDF as standard print job format"
This solved the crash and printing problem of Libreoffice in my desktop

Title:
  LibreOffice 4.4.0.3 broke printing

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Incomplete
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading via apt-get to LO 4.4.0.3, attempting to print from any LO application freezes LO completely. I have to kill it in a terminal.
  Printing/printer works fine, e. g. "print test page". Printing the same document from AbiWord works as well.
