Description: Saving a file to a network location via the "Print to file" function doesn't actually save the file even though it seems it has (no error is shown). Leading the user to believe they've saved their work as a pdf file when they haven't. Note: Using the "Export as -> Export as PDF" option and saving it in the network location works just fine. It's specifically printing to file that doesn't. Note: I have only tested Writer, I haven't tested other LibreOffice programs. Steps to Reproduce: - Start a new document. - Click on "File -> Print..." - Under printer, select "Print to file..." - Click on "Print to File..." - Select a network location (in my testing case, the location is already mounted and I don't have to clic on "Other Locations". - Save in any folder (or even create a new one and save in it). - Prompt closes, insinuating it's done but the file was not saved and no error was shown. Actual Results: The file isn't there nor is any error shown. Expected Results: The saved file should be there. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: This does not happen when saving to the local drive, only to a network location.
Does it work with other apps? Please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)

I meant, other apps not LibreOffice.
(In reply to m_a_riosv from comment #3) > I meant, other apps not LibreOffice. Ok, I just tried using the text editor (Xed). It appears to work fine (Print -> Selected "Print to File", specified network folder in "File: -> Clicked Print) and the "printed" file is in the network folder.
How is the connection to the network location set up?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #5) > How is the connection to the network location set up? Physically, it's a PC that goes to a switch and the server that has the network shares is also plugged in to said switch. Both devices are on the same LAN. It's smb, as simple of a network share as can be. Let me know if you meant something else.
