Have you run the printerdrake? What driver options is it giving you? I would suggest to look at http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/HardwareCompatibility for my comments on a HP multifunction laserjet 3330. I was having a similar slow printing problem. I switched the driver from postscript to HPIJS+ghoastscript and it solved the slowness!
