I have 16 stations running VW 9.5.3 and OS X 10.2.3. On two of them we cannot print from VW...ONLY Vectorworks. VW 10 and VW 9. I can print from any other application, including preview. Current workaround that is cumbersome at best, is to set up the print dialog in VW and hit preview instead of print, wait while it generates a PDF and displays it in preview, then go to page setup in Preview and then print the file.
I can print from all other applications, including from Classic mode Vectorworks.
the two machines are two different G4s a "Sawtooth" and a "Quicksilver" a gig of RAM in the "QS" and 512MB in the "ST". Both are running OS 10.2.3 (though the "QS" exhibited this problem in 10.2.1 as well. We have three different HP Printers a 4050, a 5000, and a 800PS. All printers are affected.
I've talked to Eric @ NNA

I got no solutions, just a few things to try
I have tried: (Not necessarily in order)
Printing from "Safe Mode (Disables any Non Apple Startup items/hidden routines etc.)
Chnging memory out to check for bad RAM
changed network port
tried IP Printing
Replace both the Plist and the Preference for VW
Deleting all Printing Prefs
Replace the above again and the Vectorworks Application
Deleting printers and re-adding them
replacing PPD's
I also just found that I can print very simple 3 or four rectangles on a blank sheet from VW.... ah heck.
well anyway if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate hearing from you.
