Well, you can see what is happening here:
> getting sync using 'pjl echo' at 14:31:20.533
> sync done at 14:33:03.274
This is where things are nasty - it took over a minute to wake up
and respond!

And the page counter getting was probably part of the same message

This is slow, 3 secs for 141K, but it got there...
> getting end using 'pjl job/eoj' at 14:33:06.876
Well, it thinks that the printer started responding after 30 seconds,
and the paper path is flushed.
> end of job detected at 14:33:38.909
And it takes its time responding with the page counter value.
> pagecounter 118790 at 14:33:39.406
Which it did and
> pagecounter 118790, pages 2 at 14:33:39.406
> done at 14:33:39.407
You started getting responses at:
> sync done at 14:33:03.274
> done at 14:33:39.407
This is about 37 seconds.
I don't know why it takes the HP this long to respond.
Perhaps a trouble call to HP?
