One of my systems will print to the print server from Chrome but not
Abiword or LibreOffice. I'm not sure where to start with this one.
Any ideas?

The print server's log files, which will show you whether the request is
reaching the server. And, if it is, hopefully why it is not being acted
upon.

If not, try running the program from a terminal to see if it gives any
useful output. After that, try strace.

did you by chance forget to enable the cups flag?

OK, the system is remote and I will try this ASAP.
