Avery Personal Label Printer - HELP!

I've just made the transition from PC to MAC at my office, and need to get my Avery PLP 9100 (Personal Label Printer) working for my mail outs.

The problem I'm having is when I plug the printer into my USB port, and access it through the PRINTERS -> SYSTEM PREFERENCES screen, I can SEE the printer, and the mac picks it up, but I'm unable to ADD the printer.

I've downloaded the printer drivers software for mac directly from Avery and in the readme it says to "click the Avery9100 Application to launch the installation" but when I click the program, literally nothing happens.

Have any ideas of how I can get this device working? I find it strange the OS X picks it up and even KNOWS what the device is, but I'm unable to use it..

Help!?

The Avery driver is a PPC only driver and will not work on an Intel Mac as is. In order to get the driver to work you must force Printer Setup Utility to open in Rosetta. Select the PSU app and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the box labeled "Open with Rosetta."

Now launch PSU and you should now be able to Add the printer.
