Bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428064 in OpenOffice is still there in LibreOffice. When I open some .odt documents, LibreOffice connects to the print server. There's a short freeze, where the document window contents haven't been drawn yet. More importantly, this is a privacy problem. I haven't tried yet, but this may be related to: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609236 i.e. when PrinterName is defined in settings.xml (some .odt documents are distributed like that).
The problem (connection to the print server) can be reproduced with the testcase from this bug report. I've attached it. Though it is called printername-crash.odt, there's no crash with LibreOffice (i.e. I can't reproduce bug 609236 with LibreOffice).

Thank you. Opening the document shows me a simple Writer document with
the content::
Crash when opening this file, due to the predefined PrinterName in
the settings.xml file.
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-11
What behaviour do you expect this to produce, and how can I verify
that behaviour?
The document says “OpenOffice.org 3.2.1”. Can you re-try using the
current LibreOffice in Debian?
If the behaviour still occurs for you in that version, please follow
up (using ‘reportbug’ for convenience) to this bug report giving the
appropriate “found” field for the report.
The bug still occurs. I can reproduce it in a more visible way by setting ServerName 192.168.0.2:443 in my /etc/cups/client.conf file (note: a "telnet 192.168.0.2 443" hangs, which is the goal of the test). A strace shows lots of timeout during 20 seconds. During this time, Libreoffice doesn't show the document and hangs.
Control: tags -1 - moreinfo Note: by "doesn't show the document", I mean that nothing is drawn in the window (which contains things from the background).
Control: found -1 1:7.2.4-2 Control: found -1 1:7.3.0~rc2-2 Ditto with the recent versions.
I've just reported the bug upstream.

Control: found -1 4:25.8.3-1 upstream at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146869#c3 1. Execute "mv ~/.cups ~/cups.bak" (in case there is an existing user CUPS configuration). 2. Create a /etc/cups/client.conf or ~/.cups/client.conf file with the line "ServerName 192.168.0.2:443" (or another address, which should not belong to the local network). 3. Check that "lpq" hangs. 4. Run "libreoffice printername-crash.odt", where printername-crash.odt is the testcase I had attached at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=708533#10 Result: LibreOffice hangs.
