Confirmed in "okular" 22.12.3 with QT 5.15.8, Plasma 5.27.9, KDE-Frameworks 5.103.0
on OpenSUSE LEAP 15.5

Especially nerving, as there is no option to preview what actually will be printed – as "kprinter" once provided.
The error is only visible on paper – if one is wise enough to check the result before using the print-out …
Error-checking is not feasible for voluminous print-outs!

Merging together reports for the same underlying issue - thanks!
