I looked at that a few weeks ago, and it appears that the error is due 
to it looking for CUPS even when built without CUPS.  More 
specifically, I think it's looking for the cupsd server, possibly even 
just files for it or some other CUPS component.

Frustratingly, I managed to make it work, but upgraded the system, did 
not take notes of what I did, and can't seem to make it work again.  In 
any case, it was without modifying LibreOffice, just doing 
...something... which then allowed spadmin to run.  I defined a couple 
of printers as lpr commands, and they worked.
