Hi Tom,

I don't have Panther yet but I have done some sleuthing to see what
printing issues might arise.  For the most part the printing system in
Panther is very similar to Jaguar, but obviously not identical.

For QuadToneRIP, it seems that my special calibration mode using a
fairly unorthodox CMYK file doesn't work correctly, but the ordinary
print mode seems to work just the same as always.

I don't know how ImagePrint gets to the printer, so why it doesn't
work on Panther is unknown to me.
