You have a LaserWriter 8500 but cannot print correctly under MacOS X ?
André wrote a tutorial that could help you : http://www.sterpin.net/cups.htm
[Upd.]
Ralph brings us another solution :
last month I posted an answer in Macbidouille forum to someone who had the same issue. Soution is far simpler than to use CUPS (but this allowed people to know it exists !)
The article is (in French, read hereafter to find out why you might not need this solution if not using French Mac OS X)here
To summarize, there is an issue with the French version of the PPD LaserWriter file. If you replace this file by its English counterpart, everything works again. There were equivalent issues with other machines (not only Apple's) and the replacement by the English version corrected this.Only issue is now that printing options are in English.
