RE: [Digital BW] Re: Can't print with QTR on 1280 & Win2K

2004-08-17 by Stephen Billard

QuadToneRIP can't print directly to the printer. It sets LPT3 as a networked
printer then uses it. If you don't have networking set up on the computer,
check some other threads for suggestions. Don't modify the LPT.
