This doesn't sound to me like you're being logged out.  Rather it sounds
like light-locker is locking your screen, which is does by bringing up a
new lightdm instance.

Please check whether light-locker is running.  If it is, you could
disable it in the list of startup applications.  Or, depending on what
desktop environment you're using, you could try removing the package
entirely.

I realize that this doesn't explain the problem with your printer.
Maybe that's actually a separate, coincidental issue?
