We are using accounting with HP8150,HP8500,HP4500,HP2100,HP8100 and they are all fairly slow.
Now slow means that the accounting delay between jobs is around 30-45 seconds. This means that if you print many small jobs (low page number), the efficiency of the printing is very low. We have tried tweaking with timeouts, pollintervals ...etc... to no avail.
