That is likely because the printer settings saved with the documents refer to a network printer that doesn't exist anymore or is not accessible. Please go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General. In section 'Load' uncheck the options and then try loading again.
Thank you Regina. I followed your instructions, then closed and restarted LibreOffice. The pop-up continues to appear.
please try in Safe Mode https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/profile_safe_mode.html
The pop-up does not generate in safe mode. Restarting normally after safe mode regenerates the pop-up.
You can try to use a new LO profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FirstSteps#Corrupted_user_profile).
I deleted my user profile with no affect to the bug before submitting. 😵💫
Ok so it must be inside the file. Do you think you can attach the file by using this link https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=168779&action=enter or is there something confidential/private in it ? The goal is to unzip the file, find the printer reference, remove it and rezip the file.

It isn't one file, it is all files.
