> - synaptic tells me that hplip is 1.6.9-3pclos2007 version

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ shows newer versions
As far as i can say i've seen a similar problem in mandriva 2007 (hplip 1.6.9)
and a speed improvement with mandriva 2007.1 (hplip 1.6.12).
> - the print seems the same in both digikam and gimp - but I can make further checks if needed

The important thing should be the quality, e.g. dpi settings, page type etc.
Other one could be the way we (in kde) print if I'm not wrong the process passes to gs before going
to the printer, and that is slow and long. To see that you could run on a konsole top and have a look
at active processes during the printing, I'm quite sure you will see gs untill the image is in print queue.

> this must imply that the bug has to be reassigned, can You direct me?

The best way could be asking for it to hplip developers/support (http://hplip.sourceforge.net/), 
on their mailing lists, but they will ask to you for using the last version first i believe....
