Seems like it was an user config error then (or a printer driver one for allowing setting an option that makes the printer bug)

When I plug it via the USB cable, the printer driver seems autodetected incorrectly: Canon iP7200 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.11 , however printing of the test page succeeds and the test page is printed successfully. Writer is also able to print the documents correctly. However printing PDFs via Evince does absolutely nothing - the printing job seems to get executed correctly, however the printer power led just blinks two times and that's it - no error message is produced, no segfault, no feedback, nothing. The really interesting thing is that on another laptop with Ubuntu 16.10 the printer works correctly and prints the PDF without any problem. I am totally at loss what to google for or where to search for possible solutions as there is no error message :( Thanks for any tip.
