This is a 300x300 DPI laser printer with an HP LJ-III emulation. An
optional card allows to print in PostScript Level and Level 2. How much
RAM is installed? Could you print any documents from Mac OS X? Have you
installed the right PPD?
If you tried to print with PostScript fonts: how did you setup the PS
fonts download? Or: to which file is the sym-link
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
pointing? Is it pdftex_ndl14.map (no down load) or pdftex_dl14.map
(down load PS fonts?) Could be it's necessary to download all PS fonts.
You can change this either in i-Installer under `Configure only´ or on
the command line as:
sudo updmap --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35 true
I think this does not recreate the sym-link
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
nor
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/
dvipdfm.map, so as final step this is needed:
sudo updmap
or
sudo updmap --nohash (might save some time)

Der Unterschied zwischen Theorie und Praxis ist in
Praxis meist größer als in der Theorie
