Installing and Using QTR For Windows

2004-12-22 by bullitt46

I downloaded the package and also got the QTR GUI. After I ran the 
installation, it took a little while to figure out where it had 
installed it, but I finally tracked it down to the Program 
Files\QuadToneRIP folder. There was no documentation in that folder, 
but I found that running the self-extracting zip had created a 
folder in the directory where I had downloaded it and there was an 
RTF file in that folder, so I opened it and read it. It referred to 
a Print-2200.bat file which doesn't exist, so I tried the GUI 
instead.

The GUI looks similar to the Linux version, which I actually had up 
and running once, so I felt I was in familiar territory. However, 
when I try to print absolutely nothing happens, except for a command 
window that pops up and disappears before I can see what's going on. 
I am running XPPro and I am on a network. I have a 2200 on USB001 
and shared with the share name Quad2200. Looking at the log files, I 
once saw an error of an unknown tag in the TIFF file, so I recreated 
the file with Photoshop 6 (it originally came from Photoshop CS 
which I thought might not be compatible). Still absolutely nothing. 
I am a computer professional, I run the Imageprint RIP on my 7600, I 
have previously run QTR on my 2200 from Linux, and I am completely 
mystified. Maybe I should just go back to the Linux version?

Thanks,
Stan
