Correct.

Nope. The printer (usually) receives the uncompressed data;
Sorry for creating havoc :-)
To sum up how I understand it now:
1. The Mac decompresses the files before sending them to the printer
anyway -- so converting them wouldn’t help.
2. File transfer goes at LAN speed.
3. The printer takes a long time RIPing uncompressed tiff files.
So either the print

I'll make some guess... and some explanation.
(I could be wrong, though)
BTW, it's all about the format (and options) used when savi

Decompressing the tiff file (which is LZW compressed) is done b

Or: Glen could batch-process the images, i.e. open them and save them
uncompressed, and then print those. That would take the load off the
printer’s processor and put it on the Mac’s CPU.
