Hmm... you're right. Just got around to actually trying it on my 
LibreOffice 6.1.5.2 on Linux Mint (installed from the LibreOffice PPA). 
Opened an ODT (Writer) document, printed, and the document is marked as 
modified (green star or orange dot on the save icon depending on theme) 
as soon as the "print" dialog opens. It's still marked as modified even 
if the print dialog is immediately cancelled.

I'm pretty sure that option worked at one time, and hadn't noticed that 
it doesn't now. I don't do a lot of printing, but guess when I do I must 
either save immediately after printing anyway or print from a read-only 
version (in which case the document doesn't get marked as modified).

This still happens starting with a new document, and also with a fresh 
LibreOffice profile.

After some searching of bugs, this looks like bug 123378 
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123378>. Despite 
the title implying that this is a regression in 6.2, from comments it 
looks like this affects 6.1.5 too (and from your description, seemingly 
also 6.1.4) but should be fixed in 6.1.6.
