OK, using HPLIP (hp backend, which appears to be recommended) submitting larger jobs seems to work without a backend lockup, however it's AWFULLY, almost unusably slow (1 page per 2 minutes or so, adding up to maybe 4 minutes per quadruple-duplexed PDF/PS page). (HPLIP is actually known to be very slow in certain configurations, too, and developers even already said that they're working on improving it)
I don't know, but whichever thing I try to configure in CUPS, I'm _ALWAYS_ (yes, that's an always, since chances are about 60%) hitting a brick wall of some more or less severe sort (and I'm far from being the only one, judging from Internet discussions). IOW, I found a crude if acceptable workaround, thus severity should be left at grave, since the normal socket backend should at least be semi-usable, too.
