I've investigated a bit and it's not an Okular issue, but one in the Qt
print dialog with printers that don't have PPD files. It can be
reproduced e.g. with kate just the same and Brian even mentioned in the
initial report that qpdfview is affected as well.
The issue has been fixed upstream (qtbase) with the following commit (so
that's what would have to be backported):

cups: Support raw printers
They don't have a ppd but we don't *really* need a ppd to just
print

This probably also fixes #911702, but I didn't test that explicitly.
