Re: QTR - QTRgui won't access printer-Possible solution

2004-12-19 by fredila2

I had a similar problem until this morning.  Drove me nuts.

I originally tried to run QTR in a similar setup as the one you 
describe below.  Tried everything without success.  I even installed 
a print server in the hope that it might solve the problem...but it 
did not.

Finally hit upon the right combination of stuff.

Since I am running a print server, I needed to manually configure 
QTRGui (using "Configure Printer Manually" under "Options" in the 
QtrGui tool bar.)  I set it to the print server name instead of the 
Epson 2200 printer.

Then in Windows "Printers and Faxes" I set the Epson 2200 
to "Shared" and gave it the share name of Quad2200.

Finally, I added the QTRgui program as an "Exception" to the Windows 
Firewall (on the "Exceptions" tab using the "Add Programs" option.)

That did it.  Now I can print thru QtrGui.

Hope some of this helps.

Regards,

Fred Rothenberg
