No.  I specifically checked for this possible explanation.

No.  Just "No Printer Selected".

I see.

However, the server log produced by opening the print dialog box on the Mac

server.  It is curious that the Mac seems unwilling to use that info.

Would it help if I posted the entire text of the relevant parts of the server log?
