Slow printing between pages

I have a HP Laserjet P3005N printer that is shared between two people.  The printer recently started printing very slow.  It will print 2-3 pages at a time and then wait a few seconds and print again.  I have tried several different drivers and everytime I update the driver it will work better for a day or two.  Then it will resort back to taking 15 minutes to print a 10 page document.  I recently had to rebuild the computer.  It had the same problem prior to the rebuild as it does now.  Any help would be appreciated.

I changed the cable and reset the defaults for the printer and it seems to be working.  Let's hope that it doesn't resort back to what it was doing.  Thanks for your help.

Depending on the computer directly attached to the printer, you may need to update drivers
If the computer itself is slow, then it could be slow managing the print queue and also be slow at spooling print jobs to send to the printer
