Wait for a quiet period and Wireshark it? If there is an SNMP being 
sent, should be easy enough to spot.

Does this bug apply? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709896

BZ#709896
     Previously when printing to a raw print queue, when using certain 
printer models, CUPS was incorrectly sending SNMP queries. As a 
consequence there was a noticeable 4-second delay between queueing the 
job and the start of printing. With this update the problem is fixed and 
CUPS no longer tries to collect SNMP supply and status information for 
raw print queues.

Why is this suddenly biting you? All I can think of is that something, 
possibly non-obvious, has been changed.
