Libre office prints some docs, not others.

[Brian Cluff]

If your root drive is still almost completely full the print job is 
probably not printing because the print system is trying to write a temp 
file with the print job in your printers native language which can be 
quite large and running out of space to write it.
You're probably seeing small and simple print jobs succeed while larger 
print jobs with images are failing.

I once had someone complaining that her 22 page document was taking a 
very long time to print to a network attached printer.   It turned out 
that the 22 page document because of some bad formatting and large 
embedded images had to be turned into an 800+ meg file in order to be 
printed and then that file was having to be sent over a 100Mb connection 
which just plain took a few minutes to complete the transfer of the 
entire document to the printer, making for a very slow print.  Since it 
was a document that would be printed a lot, the fix was to recreate the 
document in a way that minimized the actual print file size.
