I'm not sure that it is a bug. LO is trying to contact the printer 
specified by the user. The printer is not responding, so it takes some 
time before giving up. Changing the settings so that LO doesn't try 
contacting that printer fixes the problem.

That looks like it's to do with files not showing up on shared folders - 
nothing to do with printers?

I don't know much about OSX, but it seems like the network drive isn't 
being mounted when opening from LO, but it works if already mounted 
(e.g. by browsing to the folder from the OS's file browser).

Does Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > Open/Save dialogue boxes

option is available on OSX). If it does, that would be worth mentioning 
on the bug report.
