Yes, HP does have a Mac driver out for the HP Paintjet.  It retails at
about $125 (including cable) and should be available from any source
which sells the Paintjet.  Unfortunately, I do not know the part
number. 

Given my employer, you should be tempted to take everything I say
about the printer/driver with that grain o'salt.  However, I did
just finish a large presentation which required some printouts from
the Mac.  I used the Paintjet and got some nice color output - both
paper copy and transparencies.  While the output was not "PostScript"
quality (the Paintjet is only 180dpi and the supplied fonts did not like 
being rotated), for the price, I was quite impressed (so was my
audience).
