Which printers work and which ones do not?

You are using which distro of Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, etc., to run the 
server on?

Are you accessing the print server using a Windows, Mac, or Linux. It 
sounds like a Linux system, so we could use that version of Linux as well.

Yes, sometimes the config file for LO on Linux get corrupted, or at 
least for me it did on Ubuntu.  I had troubles with LO not being able to 
print correctly for duplexing on an Epson printer.  Since all of the 
printers are "attached" to the CUPS system, that was a concern to me.  
It was fixed by a print option that is no longer part of LO's Linux 
print "options" anymore.  It seems not to need it now.

For now, you might want to use Export to PDF or have CUPS-PDF installed 
locally.  You create a PDF version of the document and use you default 
PDF viewer to print the document out to the correct printer.

Have you tried renaming your LO personal profile and then let LO create 
a new one.  That usually work for printer issues, or it did the last 
time I had a corrupt printer.

For me, on Ubuntu 12.04, I go to the hidden folder of
    ".config/libreoffice"
I rename it to
    ".config/libreoffice-old-date-here"
with the date I saved it in the folder name.
When LO restarts, it recreates the config folder with a fresh copy. This 
usually fixed printer issues and errors.
