The Ubuntu linux distro supplied version does indeed work.

LibreOffice 3.5.4.
Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)
This product was supplied by The Document Foundation, Debian and Ubuntu.

When unchecked, LO(U) uses the GTK print dialog.

It does not work in the linux LO Versions:
o LibreOffice 3.5.7.2
Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5
o 3.6.4.3 (Build ID: 2ef5aff)
o 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0)
version. (It probable doesn't work in the LODev4 version because there
is no 'Enable experimental (unstable) features'.)

So file a bug report. Or add to an existing one:
