tested with Gpg4win 5.0Beta-336
Likely connected to T7705: Okular: Error on signature if the original file is overwritten
I can confirm this.
Edit 2025-06-26:
And please Fix the ALT shortcut in the "Sign / Encrypt", "Sign" and "Encrypt" button to S or E, respectively. One can hardly see the mark at the "i" and its unintuitive, anyway:

Staring at some Process Monitor logs I noticed that dirmngr wastes 3-4 seconds trying to connect to localhost:9050 and localhost:9150 looking for tor. After adding no-use-tor to dirmngr.conf dirmngr starts reasonably fast.
Remove the lines starting with ShowResultsAfter[...] in kleopatrarc

I have built the run-* test programs of gpgme for Windows. run-keylist --cms --secret takes about 23 seconds. 3.7 seconds are gpgme initialization/setup (gpgconf --list-dirs, gpgconf --list-components, gpg --version, gpgsm --version, gpgconf --version). Most time (2 x 6-8 s) is lost starting gpg-agent and dirmngr. (keyboxd is not enabled here.)

commands with -v
Please always add -v t commands like "gpg --decrypt test.txt.gpg". To decide whether this is smartcard or gpg-agent releated, I need to see a log file form gpg-agent and scdaemon. The latter is more important. I would suggest "debug ipc,app,cardio"

For KF5-based builds this is resolved because the improved heuristic for detecting light high-contrast themes (like "Desert") is used for VSD 3.3 and Gpg4win 4.4.
For simplicity (and because I think entering tab characters isn't really essential for the notepad) I decided to go with the first solution.

Ok, it was a missing update (although windows claimed to be up-to-date).
After installing 2025-06 [...] KB5060829 the Microsoft Print to PDF feature is available again and printing also works in Kleopatra/Okular.
A second patch fixes the problem with the button in the smart card view.
I have added a patch to disable recoloring of the status icons in Gpg4win. This ensures that the status icons in the selected rows don't get all-white.
Upstream bug report for invisible status icons: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506434 (Icon coloring is inherently incompatible with colored Breeze status icons)
It's also the same error in Okular, when a pdf is printed.
Same on gpg4win-4.4.1 @ win11 (here a bit more debugview context)

Works fine here.
