I have both drivers installed and both seem to work with a 2100
(except that the 2200 monitor doesn't work).  I use the 2200 for BO
and the 2100 for colour, and of course QTR for other B&W.

The real problem with the borderless driver is the amount of image you
loose.  The driver resizes the image up by about 5% in each direction
to ensure that you don't get any white edges, but the amount of image
that you loose is just plain silly.  I control this in Qimage using
either page margins or borders, but it is not an exact science.

If QTR ever did borderless, what would really be great is if it could
control the amount of overspray, like some other drivers allow you to
do (Canon?)
