I would try with another printer or another computer, or both :-)

I would also try printing 5 pages of text (single document) with just
one dot '.', so that processing time is minimal and the same.

I wonder if plain text can be sent to this old printer.



I just searched a bit, trying to find the year, and found this,
unrelated to your question:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_LaserJet>

«LaserJet as a brand name identifies the line of dry electrophotographic
(DEP) laser printers marketed by the American computer company
Hewlett-Packard (HP). The HP LaserJet was the world's first desktop
laser printer.[1] As of 2016, Canon supplies both mechanisms and
cartridges for all HP's laser printers.[2]»

Canon!?
