    You're going to need PostScript for any kind of substantitve and reliable printing with Macs. No getting around that...

      If I remember correctly, the 1075 has to have PS3 to work with Apple.

          Yes, you can create a "Generic Printer" with certain versions of OS 10.x, but it will be limited. The PS chip is truly the only proper way.

            For a 1075 the generic PCL driver is fine. For a color machine, it only supports b/w printing.
