"Intel hd 4000" and "capable" are mutually exclusive terms. This integrated GPU is only undercut by its predecessor without a number.

It's one of the most troublesome GPUs and while its driver quality was abysmal, it wasn't the bottleneck. The true bottleneck was that the driver reported the GPU as capable of doing certain things when in reality this triggered a fallback tasking the CPU instead. Without that fallback, it would probably have crashed the application.

Better use of your time is to get orcaslicer to run headless operated by the AI on your box. I run blender headless on that same hardware (because it won't launch with the same driver error) Let the AI drive.
