Could someone briefly summarize exactly what the protocol is between
a MAC and a DeskWriter.  I have a DeskJet and MacPrint SW, and understand
that the print driver takes my QuickDraw and maps it onto HP LaserJet (e.g.
"PCL" commands) which are sent to the DeskJet.  What is the process with
a DeskWriter? How much is performance dependent on the Mac's CPU rate,
the serial link (9600 baud for Classic Macs....), and the printer head
speed?
