Have a little sympathy for these folks, they may not be in your time zone and we all have to sleep sometime.
The only other issue I have is that PT7 will not run on my 32-bit only Mac Mini Core Duo... but I think the dev can fix that by re-targetting the build for 32 and 64-bit Intel.
The new version DOES work great on my MBP.. It looks to be a great update! Just the 32-bit issue... doh.

I bought this app way back in the dark ages of Mac OS X because people said it was soooooo good but I have never in all the versions of Mac OS X from 10.0.0 to 10.5.7 needed to use it....
The only common thread I see in the comments is a particular older HP printer has a crap driver but nothing else.
If somebody say's to me that a wipe/clean install did'nt fix their print problem it screams buggy driver to me. The logical solution is to get updated drivers from HP.
To be honest Apple has done a good job of updating & improving the CUPS printing system in Mac OS.
Once a year someone posts a glowing review of this software here on Macupdate which suggests to me very very few people need it or astroturfing...
