Please...please...lets not go there! Anyone familiar with Unix will
understand exactly what the Terminal Program is and what shell scripts are
all about.

To keep this on topic, I use Roy's QuadToneRIP with my Epson 1160. Since
Epson currently doesn't have a 10.2 driver available for the 1160 it's
really the only way to print quads under OS X; unless, of course, you go
with a third-party solution like the R9 plugin. Roy's setup does a very nice
job, though print speed is very slow; a function of the Gimp driver and
nothing to do with QuadToneRIP. Plus, you can print directly from your
grayscale image. No converting to RGB, applying curves, etc.
