Problem description:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a remote cups server to print, no a local one.
2. Set /etc/cups/client.conf to use it remote cups server
3. Open writer or calc.
4. Open a document.
5. Go to File -> Print, and you'll see the printers.
6. Keep open libreoffice for 20 minutes.
7. Go to File -> Print, and all printers disappears.
8. Close libreoffice.
9. Start libreoffice again, and go to File -> Print, and you'll see the printers ok.

Current behavior:
The printers disappears when you keep open libreoffice for 20 min. If you close a re-open it, the printers appears again.
I think the problem is related with the fact of libreoffice open a connection with the cups server when it's starts, and its connections is closed a minutes later (i don't know why). Its seem like a libreoffice don't detect this connection lost.

May be libreoffice should open the conection with the cups server when the user open the print dialog, and not when its start.

Platform
Kubuntu 12.04, in a LTSP-Cluster Infraestructure.

PD: Sorry for my english.
