QTR & 2100/2200 (Network not required).

2004-10-09 by mellalieua

Having tried various options I've found two solutions for printing to 
your 2100/2200 via QTR without having to set up loopback adapter on 
non-network pc's.

1. Go into printer properties and click on the ports tab. 
Select 'printer pooling' which then allows you to select lpt3 (as 
well as your existing usb connection). If you then try printing from 
QTR you still get the net use error messages but it prints fine (does 
on my Win2000pro machine anyway). You can edit the quadtoneprint.bat 
file and rem out out the net use lines to stop the error messages 
appearing.

2. Leave your existing connections as they are and plug a parallel 
cable in as well. Then edit the quadtoneprint.bat file and alter the 
imagetoraster line to show >LPT1 instead of >LPT3. Save the bat file 
and try printing. This assumes you don't have a different printer 
already connected to lpt1.

I would be interested to hear from other users who find either of 
these methods work for them.

All the best.
