Well, I've never seen a PostScript error like that myself. But 
that may be because of the way I set things up in the Print 
dialog error reporting panel. Usually I get something with 
the "%" symbol and some text in it (because that's the way 
PostScript errors are reported).

The rest of this post is \pure speculation\ on my part. There is 
a Macintosh system error -8 which signals that no debugger is 
installed. If it was not a real PostScript error but a system 
error, then I'd be lead to believe (by a 'round-about method of 
deduction) that:

1. The LaserWriter/Printer software has a part missing or 
currently not activated (Extensions Manager). Maybe double-check 
through the Chooser that LW 8 is selected and that the old 
Desktop Printing extension has been removed (the one from 8.5 is 
apparently not compatible with the 8.6 OS).

2. Finale 2001 might do better with a newer version of Printing 
software (should be available through: 
<http://www.info.apple.com/support/downloads.html>.

3. It might be good to manually backup/delete all Finale related 
fonts in your Fonts folder and re-install them from the Finale 
installer. There is also a font pack updater available at 
codamusic.com.

4. Check that you've reset the Printing Setup settings.

5. Might need to update some other library (InterfaceLib) 
containing some code that the newer Finale needs (highly 
unlikely).
