Can’t print directly from LibreOffice in macOS 15.5 Sequoia – job disappears in print queue

Description:
I am using LibreOffice on macOS 15.5 (Sequoia, M4 MacBook Pro). When I try to print a document (text or with image) directly from LibreOffice (Writer), the printer is detected, settings open normally, but once I click “Print”, the job appears briefly in the macOS print queue, and then disappears — nothing is printed.

Tested with:
	•	LibreOffice Writer
	•	Brother DCP-T425W (connected via USB and Wi-Fi)
	•	Printing via Preview or Brother iPrint&Scan works normally
	•	Exporting to PDF and printing works

Tried workarounds:
	•	Changing drivers (IPP / AirPrint / Generic)
	•	Using different printers
	•	Reinstalling LibreOffice
	•	Resetting printing system on macOS
	•	Creating new macOS user account

Expected result:
LibreOffice should be able to send documents directly to the printer without job vanishing.

Actual result:
Print job disappears without error message. Nothing happens on printer side.

Version: LibreOffice 24.2.x
OS: macOS 15.5 (Sequoia)
Architecture: ARM (M4 MacBook Pro)

Both printers are connected via ethernet cable, if that makes any difference.
