Digital BW, The Print

In the end I believe that something got corrupted somewhere.  Soon
thereafter I tried printing with the epson profiles and got completely
garbled output.  I have since installed QTR on my ibook and the output
is quite good.  To fix my desktop I had to strip off everything
(including gimp print) and reinstall the epson drivers.

Right now I seem to be able to print my B&W from my notebook and color
from my desktop.  Not ideal, but I'll tinker with it some more and see
if I can figure out something consistant that is causing the
interference (or it just may be one of those things).

thanks for the replies, and I'll let folks know if I find something
consistent going on.
