Re: [Digital BW] QTR confusion - 1280 and UT2 inks

2004-03-09 by Ranyart

Finally got this working!  Thanks for the comments.  

My even bigger challenge was finally clearing a clog in my 1280.  I
could not get consistant nozzle checks to save my life, no matter what
trick or cleaning procedure I tried.

Based on something I read on another site, I bought a fresh set of
Epson ink cartridges ($50 ouch), and put them in the printer.  Ran a
few cleaning cycles, and, almost like magic, the clogs disappeared.  I
replaced my UT2 inks, and it works like a dream.  I write this here in
case anyone in the future is looking for a fix, and stumbles on this
post.

As to QTR and Linux, I wish we had a seperate forum for this
software.  

Also, as to the helpful pdf file with directions- the screen captures
from Linux have changed somewhat, and could probably stand to be
updated.  For instance, using Webmin, I could not pick the QTR driver.
 I had go into a KDE print manager, where it was pretty simple to
accomplish.  Webmin is probably not even needed.  

Also, the .pdf instructions assume your using a non-KDE file manager
when you are executing the Run-Quad-Profile-  I was not able to
execute within KDE, but, you can just run the command on the command
line, and it will ask you to type in what profile you want to use.

I'd be glad to update this document, if it would be helpful to
anyone...
