The Libreoffice Printer Dialog is still the attached to comment #2.
The printer list is not refreshed. Some libreoffice internal cache.

3 - Close every instance of libreoffice running and start it again.

The Libreoffice Printer Dialog is the attached to comment #3.
This is what was expected on step 2.

This seems to be the same bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/911235, except that it does not work in this situation.

As I mentioned, this is present for many years now.
