One cannot configure CUPS to prefer a particular driver.

Printer drivers are not part of CUPS.

Issues with printer drivers should be reported to the vendor
or authors of the particular printer driver software.

In case of HPLIP you can report issues to the authors via
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html

FYI:
Delays in between printing jobs may also depend on the backend
(i.e. the program that actually sends data to the printer device).
In case of HPLIP you probably use the 'hp' backend from HPLIP
so that also issues with the 'hp' backend from HPLIP
should be reported via
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html
