Thanks. Moving from HPOJ to HPLIP did the trick :). Oron, I'd suggest you do the same. Printing is now fast as it should be, load is normal (with a PostScript printer) and scanning works out-of-the-box with SANE (network too, with SaneTwain). Regrading the 'raw' mode of CUPS. There are two problems I encountered while using it: 1. The HP drivers usually come wrapped up inside a bloated 'software suite'. It isn't trivial to install a printer in the 'old-fashioned-way'. 2. Printing is faster, but network load increases (and printing time, eventually). I recall that with this setup a single page would have the size of a few 10MB.
