Hi and welcome to the forum!

Try to reset your OpenOffice user profile. It may be needed so that it recognizes again your printer.
As a workaround, you can export in PDF first and then print that PDF but it does not fix the issue at all.
LibreOffice 7.6.2.1 on Xubuntu 23.10 and 7.6.4.1 portable on Windows 10

Did you close AOO and re-start it after installing the printer?

Re-boot - does that fix it?
