I would expect the CUPS test page to take 1.6 - 3 minutes to print on a
PSC 1350 using hpijs. This device class is host-based, which means the PC
does most of the processing instead of the printer. Host-based printers
are slow and hpijs which is included in hplip would not be any faster.
You can't compare hpijs to windows because they are two different drivers.
Hpijs is open source while windows is closed source. The hpijs driver
while functional, cannot expose all the IP that is in the close source
driver.
Hpijs does offer parity with windows, but not with low-end host based
printers. See linuxprinting.org and hpinkjet.sf.net/hpijs_readme.html for
more information.
