Digital BW, The Print

John, 
Forgive me but your post sounds a little like sour grapes.
If you have a Mac then installation should be simple for someone that has used a mac 
before. In my case i had not.
True, there seem to be lots of issues with installing to Linux, but if you are 
experianced here you should not have a problem.
Believe you me, the results from my 2200 using Quadtone Rip are stunning, only 
limited by the quality of the input.....If you want a test print send me a self 
addressed envelope and I'll mail you one!
