Signal 11 usually means that something is seriosly wrong with that binary.
The program is trying to access memory that it should not access.
 
From your link:
'printer-make-and-model': u'HP Color LaserJet
cp1215, hpcups 3.11.10, requires proprietary plugin',

If you don't have the complete source for your driver HP might be the only
ones capable of debugging your problem.

According to
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01539618&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3422476#N1037he
the HP CP1215 seems to be a brain-dead "Host-based" printer. You probably
did not pay much for the printer. Next time you are buing a printer it
might be worth looking for keywords like "PostScript" (prefered) or "PCL"
in the specifications. Those printers are usually a little more expensive
(maybe twice the price), but if time has any value for you it might be
worth the extra purchase cost.
