Theoretical, I can't say - it depends on your particular harware and
configuration: ECP, and the two or three others that exist.  Although I
seem to recall having to fiddle a bit with my port setup, as the PLIP
driver didn't seem to like all cfg's.  In particular, IIRC it didn't like
ECP.  It's been about a year since I used it, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the
details.

Practically, I was getting between 3 and 4 kB / sec.
