1. Start LibreOffice Writer 2. Add new printer in Cups 3. Open the print dialog EXPECTED: You can see the newly added printer OBSERVED: Printer is not there. You need to colse Writer and open it again for it to notice the printer. P.S. OpenOffice didn't have this problem, I could even start/stop cups and Writer would update printing dialog correspondingly.
