This sounds very much like the behavior I get when trying to use a
printer driver on the Mac other than "LaserWriter 8." Specifically,
I have always wanted to use "HP Color LaserJet 5M" but whenever I print
with that driver... *tick*tick*tick*tick*. No dice.

I've wrote on this issue before and I don't believe anyone has ever
responded. Though, I've never sat down to work it out either.
