 Experiencing same problem here. System is 9.1-STABLE r249454M,
 ports are from Aug 23, 2013. editors/libreoffice 4.0.5_2.
 
 I also think PR 167309 is a duplicate of this problem.
 
 I use plain old lpd for printing (entries in /etc/printcap run
 jobs through apsfilter).
 
 In order to get libreoffice printing to work, I had to:
 
     1. enable the CUPS option
     2. edit editors/libreoffice/Makefile a la:
 
     --- Makefile.orig       2013-08-22 13:44:37.000000000 -0700
     +++ Makefile    2013-12-09 16:30:43.000000000 -0800
     @@ -188,7 +188,8 @@
      
      .if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MCUPS}
      LIB_DEPENDS+=          cups:${PORTSDIR}/print/cups-client
     -CONFIGURE_ARGS+=       --enable-cups --without-ppds
     +#CONFIGURE_ARGS+=      --enable-cups --without-ppds
     +CONFIGURE_ARGS+=       --enable-cups
      .else
      CONFIGURE_ARGS+=       --disable-cups
      .endif
 
 If I did not enable CUPS for the port, or if I left "--without-ppds"
 active, libreoffice would complain about not finding a default
 printer and spadmin would complain about a read-only filesystem.
