Of course, this is just the physical speed. In applications where you are
sending full-page graphics to the laser printer, the SLM804 will win hands
down because of high transfer rate between the ST and the printer.

Just like CPUs, you have to benchmark the printers printing the kind of
stuff you print before you know their relative speeds.
