Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the Gutenprint driver for the Canon Maxify MB2750, trying tray 1, tray 2, and automatic selection on one of the listed Linux systems. Trace the relevant cups-filters printing path; the issue is done when printing no longer produces an ongoing stream of blank pages and the expected document output is produced.
