Re: [Digital BW] Trade away my 2200 for a 1280? Help!!!!

2004-11-09 by dinolini

sounds good-I've been to the site (Roy Harrington's) and found the QTR download. Where 
(and what) is the GUI part of the equation.-I'm working in Panther and the Gimp-Print site 
says I don't need it (Gimp-Print). Do I still need the EPS Ghostprint? A bit confusing as to 
what's needed to make this work.

Thanks for your help..

Robert
