I had the same problem with Okular and Samsung CLX-3185FW. The reason of
the failure was Samsung's own lpr, or symbolic link /usr/local/bin/lpr
to be precise, which was installed from package samsungmfp-lpr. (Package
from Samsung's site.) That lpr does not behave as it should.

The problem was resolved by either renaming the symbolic link or
removing the package samsungmfp-lpr. That package does not contain
anything else than that symbolic link, so the package should be safe to
remove. When that symbolic link does not exist anymore, the correct lpr
from cups-bsd is used. (/usr/local/bin/ is before /usr/bin/ in $PATH.)

Hence not a bug in Okular or Ubuntu.
