Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Stephen.

I did the loopback adapter thing from http://support.microsoft.com/?
kbid=236869, reinstalled QTR, directed the imagetoraster line in 
quadtoneprint.bat to lpt1 but left netuse directed to lpt3 – and it 
worked. It produces a few error messages (i.e. network connection 
could not be found, system error 53 has occurred, network path was 
not found …) but then the printer starts up.

Cheers,

Mark
