Programs running under Classic can't print to the OS X printing system,
so you can't get to QTR from PS6.  However, you can print using the
Preview program of OS X.  Preview accepts not only pdf files but also
tiff, jpg and psd files.  So just save it and read into Preview.  I haven't
done much work this way, but the only thing I know you'll be
lacking is the nice layout dialog in PS.  I believe it always centers
the print.
