Are they having problems printing from other programs?
Are all the work stations reporting the problem?
My thoughts are it is:
1. An bug in LO; possibly specific to openSUSE
2. A local bug in openSUSE
3. the print server has a bug
I have not had any random print problems with LO using Linux Mint 13
with a printer directly connected via USB port.
Sometimes renaming the .config/libreoffice/user/3 folder clears up a lot
of problems. LO will regenerate a new default folder if it is missing
when starting up.

I have just got my machine to stop printing! ha !
I have tried several other apps ( Firefox, Softmaker, Gimp )
and they can still all print. Calc and Impress can't.

When everything is OK - If I go to File/Printer Settings
It shows all of the available printers
When it stops printing going to File/Printer Settings
Just shows Generic Printer
It seems to happen it you don't do anything in LO for
a while.
I have also tried downgrading to 3.5.4 and it still happens

Hi. If your at the stage of adding/removing LO. What if you try the
opensuse install.
I just recently updated my 12.1s to 12.2 for a more recent LO from suse.
The upgrade option from the DVD worked well (with some bewares).
