I set up a RAW, Networked CUPS (IPP) printer connected to my server, rather than the Networked JetDirect printer and now it prints fast. Must be the K6-2 processor is overmatched for running a PostScript CUPS printqueue...<shrug>

I couldn't find any information on the HP website, so first question is, is your HP2200 a postscript capable printer, or is it an HP PCL only printer?
If your HP2200 is post script capable, then your print driver should, essentially, just be passing the printfile raw to the printer -- and should go very fast.
Otherwise, the postscript has to first be translated into HP PCL which would go much more slowly.
If you do have a postscript capable printer, but the wrong CUPS driver, it's possible that the postscript is being converted to HP PCL unnecessarily.

OK... got back to this. Printing to a file goes quickly, using lpr to print it to the printer from the local desktop machine, takes a LONG time.
The file is, um, large: $ ll *.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 tpw adm 27365874 Sep 2 16:05 2003245149827.ps
For grins, I scp'd the .ps file to my Samba shared Home directory, opened it with Windows' GhostScript and printed it to the same printer. It went very quickly. :-(
The server creates a similar large file, although the example I have is somewhat smaller: # ll *.ps -rw-rw-r-- 1 ddt ddt 20719300 Sep 2 16:25 2003245149879.ps
So, I guess what I've determined is that the problem is with the RHL9 PC. I don''t know if it's CUPS, the driver, ghostscript, or what. Any more ideas?
Thanks, Tim
