Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
When printing a PDF with "lpr x.pdf", a process called "hp" continuously consumes 100% of CPU cycles as long as the document is not fully sent to the printer. I noticed this while no paper was in my printer's tray for hours, so this process took as many CPU resources as it could get for the same time probably. After the last page was printed, the process vanished.

Added upstream task as this bug looks like an internal problem of the "hp" CUPS backend.
