I'll bet you it's not 'around five minutes' it's exactly five minutes. That's the default client time out for connections to the cups server.
We have a nasty work around for this. Near the top of the cupsd.conf and add TIMEOUT 'somebignumber' I have set mine to 5400 which is 90 mins. As this is a school and everything runs in 1 hour chunks that is fine. The downside is you may have a lot of connections hanging around. I would guess that if you are in a company where people work 9-5 that number would have to be very big ( but smaller than the night in seconds so that any dead connections can time out over night ) 90 mins with 400 workstations to one CUPS server doesn't seem to stress the print server particularly and it works here ( YMMV ) We would really like this fixed as well regards M -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020048 Title: after certain time printing to cups stops working Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
