Definitely check for the latest PPD on the Mac. Also, check the NT
properties for that printer and make sure that under the "print
processor" button, it is set to spool "raw" only. You might want to check
the "spool only raw" (or something like this, I can't remember exactly
what it says but it's the only check mark in that window) and see what
happens.
