Re: [Digital BW] QTR Help!

2005-02-26 by nickmt

I¹ve done all that.  It¹s all the same.  Gimp or no gimp - it is totally
inconclusive having gimp installed or uninstalled.  QTR is giving me A LOT
of trouble.

The only thing I seem to be able to reproduce is that QTR will print on
plain paper at 750 dpi, but as soon as I ask it to print on matte, at 1440
it craps out.  It sends the paper right through, only 25% (or 5% or 36% etc)
of print job gets up the barber pole, and all combinations of lights begin
to blink.
