All right then!
When you print something, the system reads the file and sends the DATA to
the printer... regardless of the original file format it was saved in.

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.

Nope. The printer (usually) receives the uncompressed data; the

printer’s processor and put it on the Mac’s CPU.
It would be interesting to try, but I’m not sure if it would make a
