Ah, one of the most frequent questions on the net.

I recommend upgrading your printer driver on S6 to 6.1 from 5.2 (which
you have now).  The 6.1 versions are also available on ftp.apple.com in
one of the directories.  I cannot remember it right now.  It is an
additional disk that supports typetype and is initialization compat.
with S7.  The disk is /dts/mac/sys.soft/truetype/mac-printing-tools.hqx.

If you want you CAN also use 6.1 with S7, but there is no need to.
