QTR Mac - devil in the details

2004-09-13 by James Haney

This is a bit off-topic but anyone on this list using QTR on an up to 
date Mac is probably having the same issues.

On the Mac using Panther 10.3.5, QTR - UT7

1 - Using QTR requires CUPS drivers

2 - Using CUPS drivers disables the ability to use EPSON USB

3 - Thereby forcing you to use CUPS for all of your printing needs.

4 - While my QTR prints on my 2200 look great, my color prints on the 
other 2200 look bad.

5 - Does anyone know how to:

	A - Get CUPS and Epson USB drivers to co-exist so I can use both?

	B - Get the CUPS/GIMP drivers to print a good color image on EEM and 
PhotoRag?

Strangely enough, I bought a 7600 last week and after combination of 
efforts was able to get it working with the standard Epson drivers but 
I cannot seem to get the same to work for the 2200.

I have tried bypassing this entire situation by using

	A - EZ workflow with UT7 with Epson Driver - I find the dots to be too 
evident

	B - Rourke curves and RGB workflow and Epson Driver - works but 
annoying workflow - only works in Image editor


Summary,

I really want to use QTR due to superior quality (in my experience), 
total control, and ability to print from any application. But I have to 
be able to print in color as well.

Help.
