John,

When installing Panther I would check the Custom install and un-click
the gimp-print drivers.  This is not necessary but might make things 
less prone to confusion.

With Panther running I'd first get the Epson driver running.  The Print
Setup Utility might automatically connect, but if there's any question of
getting the correct driver, explicitly Add the printer under the "EPSON USB"
heading.  The printer will be called "Stylus Photo 2200".

You should NOT install GhostScript or any explicit Gimp-Print versions.
Install QTR beta9.  Download and install the profiles from 2200-UC.
This install script (rather than the one in the beta9 download) will
automatically create Quad2200 with the correct driver and profiles.

From then on you ought to be where you were with Jaguar.  Use
Systus Photo 2200 with Epson driver for color and Quad2200 with
QTR for B&W.
