PDFwriter is a printer driver for Mac OS X, which will let you generate PDF files by simply printing. PDFwriter is heavily based on CUPS-PDF. It doesn't use ghostscript to generate PDF files, instead it uses the Mac OS X internal pdf capabilities. Print labels from Linux and Mac OS X system easily to SATO printer The SATO CUPS Driver was developed to allow users to print labels from Mac OS X, Linux and other platforms (i.e. ARM V7 and PPC64LE) to SATO printer. Software Manual for Mac OS X - 14 - Portable Printer 5. In the Apple mark in the menu bar, open System Preferences and click on the Printer & Fax icon. Delete the entire Star printer queue from the printers list. Startup the Finder from the Mac OS X Dock and click Applications - Utilities. NOTE: With the universal Zebra drivers now available on Mac OS X, installing the CUPS driver is no longer required to support Zebra printers. However, in the rare case that you have issues with using the universal Zebra drivers, you can still use the the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) driver with r aw printing to print to Zebra printers.

Update December 2019
The ImageWriter continues to work with macOS 10.15 'Catalina'.
Some setbacks occurred that have since been addressed, thanks to Grant Bennet-Alder, etresoft (especially etresoft!) and interested others as documented in this Discussion: 32-bit ghostscript, required for ImageWriter and other printers using CUPS.
The first obstacle was that Catalina removed all support for 32-bit executables. However, compiling the existing ghostscript 8.71 source code results in a 64 bit executable, which (at least as of this writing) can be downloaded here:
- This package is signed and notarized by Etresoft, Inc. who retains the sole ability to remove it at will, so it's not possible to guarantee it will be available forever. In that unfortunate event one would need to obtain his or her own developer account and codesigning ability.
The second obstacle was that the ImageWriter devices were removed at some point in Ghostscript's development. Happily, Artifex agreed to re-introduce the ImageWriter devices in the current Ghostscript release, here:
The reason they were removed to begin with appears to have been lack of interest. Installing the latest Ghostscript release isn't required unless justified for reasons beyond merely using ImageWriter printers.

Summary: macOS upgrades do not break existing ImageWriter drivers—however—Ghostscript needs to be upgraded to 64-bit. To make it work, download and install Mr. Etresoft's package, or compile gs yourself from its source. The latter option can include the latest Ghostscript version, provided those devices are not removed again.
