I tested with latest version v4.4.3.2, existed with previous v4.?, and has been reported for v3.5.4.2 (ask LibreOffice question 10429) Ran some tests opening 1) blank ODT document from Writer or 2) blank ODS document from Calc. with the default printer being 1) Microsoft XPS document writer or 2) HP printer connected to another PC using Wireshark to monitor. The rough timing was - ODT document always quick, ~1s - ODS quick when network disconnected (any printer), ~2s - ODS quick when default is XPS printer (any network state), ~2s - ODS slow when default is HP printer, ~40s - ODS very slow when default is HP printer and other PC turned on, ~420s This problem may not be common due to some rarity in the combination of my network setup. But given that the ODT are fine I'd hope thereis a fix for the ODS.
I have HP 700 M775 as a network PC (connected to ADSL router) and experience no ODS slowness.

Hi, can you provide use with a dump from wireshark? What is it actually transmitting? May be we can find the corresponding code using that data. Thanks, Jan
Created attachment 115715 [details] Wireshark statistics IP addresses have been redacted - hopefully without losing meaning. www.router is the IP address on world wide web for domain .<router name>
Bad terminology: not network printer, but shared printer on host PC. Ran tests multiple times, and always Calc tried to talk to host PC (NBNS PC, DNS PC in varous forms) starting within a second of opening file. Enquiries about host PC never happened in control tests when Calc not open. Housemates would prefer to share a minimum so I hope the Wireshark statistics from two runs will suffice. File opening was at 1~2s. Not surprised by Beluga's report - guess that some rare combination of network setup results in it being slow for me, which is just sad for me. However Calc has no reason to talk to printer host PC so there is a bug, which would solve my performance problems.
Is it resolving your hostname? Is the hostname resolvable? May be related to #47179?
Not reproducible. Possibly Microsoft hiccup. Made two changes 1) Connected to printer host through file explorer - it asked for credentials (did it before?) - gave access only to net-shared folder rather than whole of <me in users> like before Calc then opened file well under all conditions (default printer HP, host PC on). 2) Swapped Win 8.1 laptop from Live ID to local account and back again on theory that superseded local credentials may have been a factor. Calc still working well. Now Calc opens documents quickly without enquiring about printer host. So cannot reproduce problem - something peculiar to my history with/and Calc. Would guess that change (1) above was the relevant one, and that the underlying glitch was Microsoft networking between 8.1 and XP fixed by updates recent (month ago) to printer host.
