Are you accessing printers using CUPS?

I had the same problem when printing from a CUPS client (both Libreoffice and Openoffice).

The cause seems to be CUPS server closing the client connection after 300seconds of idle. When the client tries to print or retrieve printer list after the connection had closed, the operation silently fails. Tcpdump shows CUPS server sending TCP Reset for the client, and the client does not appear to reissue the failed request.

Workaround for this is to set Timeout option to large value in CUPS server cupsd.conf.

This might be a CUPS client side issue.
