In LibreOffice, check File > Printer Settings. What does "Type"
indicate for each?
Also, I would suggest to double-check whether the version of
LibreOffice installed and actually in use is the one packaged by
Debian.
I have a fairly similar setup with a network-connected printer
configured in CUPS, and can quite confidently say that I have never
seen any behavior in LibreOffice similar to that which you describe.
That's with LibreOffice currently at 7.4.7.2 (4:7.4.7-1+deb12u1).
