Digital BW, The Print

Have installed the Quadtone RIP and testing.  Am trying firewire for the Std Epson drivers 
and USB for QTR; these are recommended (respectively) and known to work from other 
peoples posts

disaster; with QTR on the USB wire, roll std Espon seems not to work

to save paper I had defined a custom size of 17x4 inches for testing.

It turns out that a 17x4 paper size causes BIG problems.  Both std Epson and QTR ROLL 
drivers print half width (8 out of 16 inches of image) using 17x4 and sort of spue paper, a 
lot more than 4 inches anyway. This is with no warning message of course.

After a zillion deletes of printers, drivers, etc and reinstalls, it turns out that with a paper 
size of 17x6 the Std  Roll Epson drivers on FW are compatible (print normally) with QTR on 
USB and also only use 7 inches of paper.  Still do not have Roll QTR working right, but 
there may be a known Panther USB problem that I haven't checked out yet.
