The best thing to do is post this to the Apple printing list; more
than likely you are running into a PPD file parsing bug in the
pictwpstops filter (current releases use a different parser than
the one in CUPS), and since Apple hasn't opened that particular
filter there is no way for us to fix it or help you here...
