I wish I could help you, but it's been some time since I had to work with PhotoShop at the printing shop. Like I said, three lives ago... I wonder if this is all PhotoShop (probably), or also something to do with how the printer is seeing the file (less likely, but...).
It's nice to see the developers working so hard at it. They're doing a great job, and maybe they'll get your dilemma solved in time. As a side note, I've been waiting ten years for a Unix/Linux DTP program (aside from the old PageMaker for Solaris that was $US5000), and the Scribus project is amazing. I just wish I could help more by programming, but a programmer I am not. :-( Not that I have time on my hands during the summer, but in the fall...?
