Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 76216
Office hangs if CUPS printer is unreachable
Last modified: 2007-04-12 11:53:21 UTC
When opening an OOo-Document the entire application freezes for about 1 minute if the printer specified in the CUPS printer settings (/etc/cups/client.conf) is unreachable. Workaround: comment out the printer in the client.conf or disable networking when you know that your printer is unreachable *before* you start soffice. Why is it necessary to check for printers when opening documents?
Duplicate of issue 34140? (To answer your question, I think in some cases OpenOffice.org checks the printer for the page metrics.)
