Rick,

If the output of Mac drivers is not compatible with the corresponding Windows 
drivers, that is a question you'll need to ask of the printer manufacturers.

If the Generic PostScript output from the Mac does not work with Windows, that 
is a question you'll need to ask Microsoft about - we are just submitting 
printer-ready data. (It is entirely possible that Microsoft is trying to force 
the use of their XPS file format for shared printing with their latest 
PostScript drivers - Apple does not support XPS...)
