PS does tie up Photoshop but it does not tie up the machine. Under OS X and
PS7 the situation is no different, except that the multitasking and
backgrounding is handled more gracefully so you can work more easily in
other applications. I'm assuming Piezo will work normally with PS7 but until
the code is recompiled/rewritten for OSX it will only work with PS7 running
in classic mode.

Because the Piezo plugin addresses the printer directly, you can't use
another machine as a piezo print server, whatever its processor and OS.

I think Piezo Pro has a standalone printing app, which would be a godsend
for the rest of us, but I'm not holding my breath.
