I have posted your problem on the Canon forum of linuxprinting.org. Here
is the answer of Grant Taylor:
Hmm. I've observe thee exact effects with my
4200, but the problem
then was a bad wire.
I'd suggest that he fiddle with tunelp first -
change to
interrupt-driven, or shorten the poll time, or
something like that.
This printer really should not suffer from any
load or cups-related
host problems like this seems to describe.
