Are you using appletalk or ethernet to talk to the printer? have you 
checked for new drivers from Tektronix? Are you using the printer port 
on the router, or is the printer running ethernet? One thing you might 
have to do is use CUPS printing to access the printer on the router, if 
it is connected to the parallel printer port of the router. If you are 
connecting the printer via ethernet, try printing to the ip address of  
the printer. Any postscript ethernet printer should be supported under 
OSX10.2.4. Also, you might have to configure some settings on the 
printer itself instead of through software.

Good luck.
