PostScript Printer--Then Quark 6 will work?
If you need to go to a PostScript printer just to get the Bleed activated, you can make one in OS X through the Print Center (in the applications/Utilities folder).
1) After opening the printer list in Print Center hold down the Option key and choose the Add+ button.
2) In the resulting printer setup dialog window, choose the IP printing for communication type (rather than AppleTalk, etc.).
3) The next window gives you a place for an IP address. Just type "localhost" in that field. You can call this anything you deem appropriate in the Queue field.
4) The Generic printer description can remain. However, I find I get good PostScript files for PDFs from navigating to the OS 9's Acrobat Distiller printer description file via the Other... option.
This printer allows you to create good PostScript files that work well with Acrobat Distiller 5.x in the Classic environment. To get a PostScript file, go to the Output Options pop-up in the Print dialog window, check the to file checkbox and choose PostScript in the format pop-up window. The PDF option there is just like the OS X generic PDF format, no compression, downsampling, etc.
I have also found that you can print good PDF files to an inkjet printer, like yours in your work environment, unlike the native QuarkXPress files that have EPS files placed, etc., out of Acrobat or Reader.
good luck!
