Running QuadToneRIP 1.1 in Linux

2003-05-21 by Daniel Staver

Hi,

I've just spent the whole day trying to run QuadToneRIP with my 2100
under RedHat Linux 8.0, and I'm getting close I think...

I'm using:
CUPS 1.1.19rc5
Gimp-Print 4.2.5
EPS GhostScript 7.05.6-0

I've successfully set up the QuadTone printer using the CUPS web-based
administration interface, and from here I have access to all the
QuadToneRIP specific options. I can also successfully make a test print
from here.

However, I cannot make a print from The Gimp. I open the image and
select print, the Gimp-Print dialog opens and the printer I just set up
is there. I have to select the driver again, and in this list the
Quadtone driver is missing. If I select the regular 2100 driver I can
make prints, but it seems to ignore any quadtone settings I've made in
CUPS.

Are any of you successfully running this in Linux? If you have any idea
of what's going on I'd be grateful for any help...

Thanks!
