I think that I have the same or at least a related problem: When
printing djvu files to my Samsung ML-2010R using the SPLIX driver, I
repeatedly got session timeouts and and a very high CPU utilization due
to pdftoraster-poppler. Replacing /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster-
poppler by a symlink to /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster solves the
problem. The printer is fed as fast as possible and the CPU utilization
does not skyrocket.

Could it be that the SPLIX driver triggers a bug in the poppler code?
(Maybe this interesting: The problem goes away as well by using the
foomatic/GDI driver instead of the SPLIX driver. But in my opinion the
foomatic/GDI driver lacks features and printout quality is lower.)
