I'm a little confused on what you are looking for.   It seems
to me that every B&W workflow works just fine in OS9.  All
the printer drivers are available, all the RGB workflows for
MIS inks work.  So is there some reason that you don't
already have "reliable consistent B&W printing" ?

Moving to OSX to print doesn't make a lot of sense since you
should have everything now.
