So there are two stages here. One the app (libre office) converts the 
document to postscript or PDF. And two cups converts the PDF or 
postscript to some format your printer understands. It is possible that 
either of these steps fails.

This is why I recommended trying print to file (which default to pdf) 
and seeing if that pdf file prints properly if opened and printed via 
chrome. That way you can tell whether it is stage one or stage two above 
which has an issue. Also I think there must be a cups command line 
command to print pdf and ps files that you could try, if it works in 
chrome, to see if chrome does another level of processing that fixes things.
