   We have 2 Macs (An SE and a IIx) and it takes about 3 minutes per page to
   print on our LaserWriter...)

On the LocalTalk connected LazyWriter we have here, I've seen it take
close to 5 minutes to print a page, and I've also seen it kick out
pages at the top speed of the print engine.  It seems to me that the
print speed is more dependant on the CPU time necessary to interpret
the PostScript code than the speed of the communication link.
