run-install-curves is not functional because of the lpadmin problem  so
you don't need to run it. 

sounds like you are really close.

Just checking but What was needed is to add the curves using a text
editor such as gedit to the ppd for your printer. The ppd lives in
/etc/cups/ppd and will be the name of your printer dot ppd eg
Quad860.ppd   You will need to log on as root to change it. The changes
start about line 326 (at least for my printer). Once the changes are in
the ppd you should see the name of curves instead of none when you look
at the values in webmin.

Try printing an image of about 9.5 X 7 using QPR. If it prints on one
page I think you are home free. Check it with a loupe and make sure that
the light gray areas are dot free.

What printer and inkset are you using?
