In LibreOffice, check File > Printer Settings. What does "Type" indicate for each? Also, I would suggest to double-check whether the version of LibreOffice installed and actually in use is the one packaged by Debian. I have a fairly similar setup with a network-connected printer configured in CUPS, and can quite confidently say that I have never seen any behavior in LibreOffice similar to that which you describe. That's with LibreOffice currently at 7.4.7.2 (4:7.4.7-1+deb12u1). -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
