Try the following:
 deslz:
          :lp=deslz%9100
          :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/deslz
          :mx#0
          :bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
          :ifhp=model=hp8000,status@,sync@,of_options=status
          :filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
          :of=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp

Note: you will still get a delay while it gets the initial pagecounter
value,  and one at the end.

I THINK (not sure) this might work a bit faster.
