If you choose a printer with the network chooser, the SSC firmware
emulator directs your data stream to that network printer, wrapped in
a block of postscript code that emulates the ImageWriter control codes
(no, I'm not kidding).

I've only ever used it in that mode, and it "just works"  - I suspect
doing high-speed transfers will be as it is with the normal SSC
firmware; basically impossible.
