Public bug reported:

## System

* Kubuntu 26.04 LTS
* HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4102dw
* Network printer (192.168.1.165)

## Installed packages

* cups 2.4.16-1ubuntu1.3
* cups-filters 2.0.1
* ghostscript 10.06.0
* hplip 3.24.4

## Additional information

A Snap version of CUPS is also installed:

* cups 2.4.19-2 (snap)

## Observed behaviour

Printing through:

* Okular
* CUPS
* HPLIP backend
* IPP Everywhere queues

is extremely slow and sometimes appears to hang.

The printer itself is operational.

Direct PDF printing to JetDirect port 9100 is immediate:

cat file.pdf | nc 192.168.1.165 9100

The exact same PDF prints instantly using this method.

## Relevant log messages

HPLIP backend timeout:

io/hpmud/jd.c 632: timeout write_channel
hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_Pro_MFP_4102?ip=192.168.1.165

CUPS crash:

cups.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV

Process cupsd dumped core.

## Additional observations

The printer advertises native support for:

* PDF
* PostScript
* Duplex printing

via IPP attributes.

The printer is reachable and accepts jobs correctly.

## Expected behaviour

PDF jobs should print immediately through CUPS without excessive
processing delays.

cupsd should not crash.

## Actual behaviour

* Long delays before printing.
* HPLIP backend timeouts.
* cupsd segmentation fault.
* Direct raw JetDirect printing works correctly and immediately.

## Steps to reproduce

1. Configure HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4102dw as network printer.
2. Print a PDF from Okular or using lp.
3. Observe long delays or hangs.
4. Observe HPLIP timeout messages.
5. In some cases cupsd crashes with SIGSEGV.

## Workaround

Printing directly to port 9100 using:

cat file.pdf | nc 192.168.1.165 9100

prints immediately.
