This shouldn't be necessary and is generally not a good idea. E.g. if the
printer requests to type a PIN when printing (a feature called "confidential
printing") or is used by multiple users in parallel and has some functionality
to keep printouts of the same print job "in order", that will break (or require
to type the PIN/password multiple times).

Your issue is most probably one of the printer/printing system.

Some questions/thoughts:

1) What printer is this? Can you attach the printer's PPD file (located at
/etc/cups/ppd/<PRINTERNAME>?

2) Can you try whether you have the same issue when printing the PostScript
file generated by Okular from command line?
It's located in /var/spool/cups/d<JOB_ID>-001 and you can print it using

    lp -n2 -d <YOUR_PRINTER_NAME>

3) Does anything change if you check the "Force rasterization" checkbox in the
"PDF options" tab of the print dialog?
