I've run into this on both 4050 and 4100 laserjets, and the only thing 
that really helped as using the "generic" PPD that is bundled with OS X. 
It won't give users the advanced features of the printer, but it will 
let them print basic things without issue. Another option to try is to 
set up the queue on the mac as raw, so that it just sends the PDF 
straight to the CUPS server, and at that point it will get converted to 
PS and sent to the printer.
