Re: [Digital BW] PK or MK on QUAD 2200?

Well, Steve.  I said it was too simple for someone like me...  I can't figure out 
how to do what you advised.  

I'm on a Mac and the Epson manual says you have to trash your 2200 printer 
list.  I tried NOT trashing it, and it didn't work.  I can change the name of the 
first printer, but how do you instal the second printer and get profiles into the 
driver?  

When I select the printer in the Advanced settings as a QuadToneRip 2200, it's 
listed in the printer list, but when I select it in the driver in CS, there are no 
profiles with it even though I ran the 2200 profile instal.
