There is currently no driver for the TS5100,using the TS5000 was a
good try, but just confirms the printers are too different for that to
work. Incidentally, the TS5000 support is also experimental.
I have plans to add support for newer printers sometime this quarter
still, but no timeline for you yet.
However, regarding MacOSX, building code on that OS is a PITA, so you
would likely have to wait for an official pre-release of the relevant
version. Sorry, but please wait max ~2 months for me to add support.
