I was told by a vendor that the Centronix interface in a typical (Laserjet II)
interface would only transfer data at about 50 Kbaud (yes I know it's byte
wide, but it's easier to compare to a serial interface this way).

Is this true, if so is it really worth having a centronix interface in a
printer?
