John,

After you go through the Add Printer procedure, you need to get
some profiles and install them into the print driver.  If you are using
a 2200 under ExampleInks there's a folder that has profile ink
descriptors.  You double click on Run-Quad-Profile and drag
the descriptor file onto the window.  There's also a ReadMe there
that will help out.  Once you have installed some curves this way
when you use the print dialogs you will see QuadToneRIP options
and the curves that you have installed.
