--- Comment #19 from suse at kabelfunk.de ---
OK, I finally managed to compile okular from git source.
(with thanks to
https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Building_An_Existing_Application)

After removing the "-r" option from the lrp command, I was able to get the
temporary .ps file.
At this point I realized my huge mistake:
At comment#11 you request me to use pdftops. But I've executed pdf2ps. :-(
(I checked the .bash_history logs!)

These are to separate programs, different file sizes, different behaviours.
- pdf2ps works for me.
- pdftops doesn't work for me.

According to
http://stefaanlippens.net/pdf2ps_vs_pdftops
this makes sense for me. pdf2ps converts fonts to bitmap fonts which can be
handled by my printer. pdftops keeps the fonts and my printer crashes.

However, I know that pdf2ps is not a valid option for the majority of the
okular users.

looks like a sad end for me. (although I've learned much about building KDE
applications. :-)
