Sounds like I may have gotten you from the frying pan into the fire?

So, there are two problems: (1) your printer won't print under QTR
(error message), and (2) crashes when switching back/forth from QTR to
the Epson driver.

I assume you're using Photoshop (Print with Preview) to print with
QTR? If not using PS, I suppose that might somehow be related to your
problem. Also do you have a decent amount of RAM installed (uhm, about
1 Gbyte or more)?

You also mentioned having installed gimp-print, but do you know that
gimp-print is not required any longer with QTR version 2.1? Having it
installed shouldn't be causing a problem (I still have it installed),
though I have heard people complain that it somehow screws things up.
Ghostscript _is_ still needed with QTR in Jaguar OS. I haven't
experienced the type of problems you describe. I can't claim to have
switched drivers back and forth all that often with my 2200, but so
far no crashing problems associated with use of QTR.

The simplest thing to try is just reinstall the Epson 2100 drivers
(most recent version). I believe you can do that without concern for
deinstalling the old ones.
