Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

I guess if you know all the history of how things evolved, it is a little
confusing.  The new install scripts do a whole lot more than before
they basically do all the details.

First they Add the printer automatically instead of having to deal 
with Print Center or Print Setup.  They automatically look for a USB
printer with the right model number and create the printer with the
correct name and connect everything together.   So you'll get a 
Quad2100 as long as a 2100 is hooked up to the computer.

Next they do all the Quad-Profile stuff with all the curves in the same
folder.  Since the same curves work on both the 2100 and 2200, the
PRINTER names have been removed from the curve file and the
install script provides the printer name.  (If you have printer names
in the curve file that would override the install script printer name.)

If you have some of your own curve files, I'd take out the PRINTER names
(and if you remove the CURVENAMES it'll just use the file name for the
CURVENAME).  Put the curves in the same folder and run Install2100.

Sorry about the confusion, I have lots of ReadMe and other docs
that need updating.  Hope this clears it up.

Roy
