Re: [Digital BW] Re: QTR still no spool

2005-03-01 by nickmt

Thanks for hanging with me Roy.

So weird.

With panther in I can get it to print one, but it spools very slowly.  But
if I go back to the epson driver to print color and then back to do a qtr it
fails.  This time however it has not corrupted the epson driver, I¹ve been
able to return to it and print a color.

I just retrieved this from my trash, as I trashed it last night after I got
one to work, again it worked this am as mentioned.  But I think it does tell
you about my latest problem at about 2pm today.

Also, could it be this is a left over problem from Jaguar?  I don¹t believe
I did a total erase before I upgraded to Panther.  I do have 90 days free
advice with Mac given I¹ve just purchased panther.
