There's a mailing list specifically for OzTeX questions, see

http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/oztex

The latest and last OzTeX is 5.3b2 so it might be worth trying that.

"Force Postscript Printing" is checked and greyed out because there is  
no longer any alternative low level printing code. OzTeX just sends  
postscript to the CUPS printing system.

I am using OzTeX 5.3b2 under Leopard on an Intel iMac to process and  
print my latex files daily and it is still working for me, but I print  
to a LaserWriter 4/600 PS which is my default printer. OzTeX uses  
dvips to convert foo.dvi to foo.ps and then uses the command 'lpr  
foo.ps' which sends foo.ps to the default CUPS printer leaving CUPS to  
handle the PS conversion for non-PS printers.
