MIS recommends QTR or IJC/OPM on their website for
using UT inks on a 2200. So I guess these systems do
have some "inkset vendor/manufacturers support." But
as lifelong Apple user I too experience the same
frustrations in the "lack of cross development" arena.
I just live with alternatives. OSX with its UNIX base
has improved this a lot. Anyhoo Windoze users can use
QTR with a Linux setup and a bunch of people on this
list help each other out regularly with the Linux
configuration so it is very possible. QTR is a labor
of love on this list so jump in the water is warm.
