Now I'm totally confused.  Are you saying that if
HP were to offer a DeskWriter option that used a
SCSI connection to the printer, it would not yield
improved speed over the present DeskWriter configuration?

BTW, what is the DeskJet interface?
LocalTalk?  Serial at some high baudrate?
Is the DeskJet driver an in-house development,
or did HP acquire it from Insight or somewhere
else outside?
