Printing speed is entirely determined by internal processing and physical movement. Data always arrives before it is needed, so it's pointless to optimize anything there.
...as long as the network speed and print job size are small compared to the speed of the printer. If the next page can be downloaded into the printer's memory while it's still printing the previous page then what you say is correct. But on a slow or congested network
Modern networks are switched, so to have "congested network" you have to overload the packet processing inside the network switch. The amount of data necessary for that is astronomical.
with a very large print job (a large colour raster image, for example) it's not all that uncommon for the printer to end up having to wait for the rest of the next page to arrive before it can start printing.
This never happens on any modern local network.
The raster image data is nearly-infinitely larger than anything else that is sent to the printer.
And if you're using a large raster image as some sort of page background or watermark, it would make sense to send it to the printer once and then overlay each page's data onto it, rather than having to download it repeatedly for each and every page.
Image overlayed with watermark has exactly the same size as image itself, so nothing can be gained from it.
