be careful when using Laserwriter driver for a Fiery-based printer.
Problems may occur. PSPrinter is a much better choice and the only thing
that EFI (the makers of Fierys) will support. For Mac OS 8.5.1 you have
to use AdobePS 8.5.1 (the new version of PSPrinter really) since there is
an issue with Mac OS 8.5.1 and PSPrinter 8.3.1.

It's not that Laserwriter won't work, it's just that it can be
problematic (postscript errors, etc).
