Re: QTR & IP

2004-08-25 by njfranknj

Something stopped the first print job on the list and the rest just
backed up behind it.

I suggest that you keep the printer dialog box for the 2200 open when
you are sending files to be printed, so you can see what's going on. 

QTR, in the Windows version anyway, is very sensitive to the condition
of the file, although most of the errors have printed garbage rather
than stopped on my machine. Make sure that the file size (canvas in
Photoshop) is a bit smaller all around than the paper size: I reduce
by 1/2 inch; make sure there are no alpha channels (masks) in you
"flattened" image file and that it is an uncompressed TIFF. QTR should
open a black on white dialog box saying something like "your file is
being processed....." and, depending on file size, can be a bit slow
to start printing.

Have you got a network installed correctly or the Loopback adaptor?

The printer dialog box should tell you that the job is "spooling" and
run up some numbers in one of the columns as it does so.
