Hi Malcolm,
I haven't had the same issue as described in this thread, but it may be
related. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and LibreOffice 4.1.5.3 presently.
This situation has happened with all Ubuntu versions and LibreOffice
versions in the last at least year and a half, as I update Ubuntu every
6 months, and update LibreOffice running the latest stable version from
The Document Foundation as they come out. It has happened on at least 4
different printers. If I am printing multiple copies of a document in
LibreOffice, lets say 10 copies, LibreOffice instead of sending 1 print
job to the printer telling the printer to make 10 copies, it sends 10
different print jobs to the printer printing 1 copy of each. All other
programs I run in Ubuntu send 1 print job for the multiple copies. I
found this out by attempting to print 50 copies of a two page document
about a year and a half ago, which overwhelmed the printer, and then
Ubuntu. If I make a pdf of the document, and then through the document
viewer print 50 copies of the same document, it sends one print job
telling the printer to print it 50 times. So there is something with
LibreOffice and printing in Ubuntu at least, which works differently
than all other Linux programs I have used in Ubuntu.

LO connects to CUPS on start not when you want to print So if you
have LO open for a while the connection to CUPS will time out. You need
to set your CUPS timeout short enough so that it will time out
eventually but long enough so that CUPS doesn't drop the connection in
normal use.
