First, the error_log you posted mentions a HP proprietary(?) filter which is 
not part of standard CUPS. And the PPD you posted does not request such a 
filter. Is it possible that the PPD you really use is different from that 
you posted?

Second, from your log I learn that the printer is configured using the hp 
backend. I looked into the source of this backend (a fairly recent version) 
and found nothing that could explain the 5 zo 6 second delay between pages - 
unless the printout is generated by an application that generates an 
individual print job vor every page (I know this behaviour from some weird 
Windows applications, but ...).
