Thank you Ken, Deep and Robert C for your suggestions.

Star tech support had no idea about the v3 installer.  When you  
download v3 from their site, it gives you v2 [ for Mac ] which does  
not have the Intel binaries.   Previously, these worked on Intel and  
they were PPC binaries and they failed on OS X 10.6

I had used sudo for permissions access, but as you noted the Developer  
Kit was needed.  It was such a hectic day with many users being  
frantic about their printers not working, my brain quickly became fried.

thanks to all for you suggestion and help.
