3) What is expected to happen on a netbook WiFi connected to router to ethernet to PC hosting cups server USB connected to HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 is with the printer off, LibreOffice Writer running, is when one turns the printer on Writer immediately recognizes the printer is available to be printed to.
4) What happens instead is the printer is not available to be printed to. This occurs every time this is tested. However, Evince and Firefox can print to the printer with no problem.
WORKAROUND: Turn on the printer, restart Writer.

1. Start LibreOffice Writer
2. Add new printer in Cups
3. Open the print dialog
EXPECTED:
You can see the newly added printer
OBSERVED:
Printer is not there. You need to colse Writer and open it again for it to notice the printer.
P.S. OpenOffice didn't have this problem, I could even start/stop cups and Writer would update printing dialog correspondingly.
