Are they having problems printing from other programs?

Are all the work stations reporting the problem?

My thoughts are it is:

1. An bug in LO; possibly specific to openSUSE

2. A local bug in openSUSE

3. the print server has a bug

I have not had any random print problems with LO using Linux Mint 13 
with a printer directly connected via USB port.

Sometimes renaming the .config/libreoffice/user/3 folder clears up a lot 
of problems. LO will regenerate a new default folder if it is missing 
when starting up.
