Scratch HP2621 from the list of terminals that don't need padding.
When tabs are used extensively (such as when a heavily indented listing
is viewed), or a lot of characters are output while the terminal
is in insert mode, the line transmission rate is higher than the
rate that the HP2621 removes characters from the buffer.  And
the performance of the HP2621P with the printer on, or the HP2621B
is even worse.
