Re: QTR roll on Mac

2005-03-15 by Scott Graham

I tried both drivers on USB and still had problems.  But it was such a long nasty day that 
maybe at that time I was still stuck by the short custom test paper?  4 inches won't work, 
but 6 will as I found out later, on the std drivers anyway.  Sure would be nice to get an 
error message at 4 inches.

Also, my impression was that FW is more trouble free.  Am I wrong?  I wasn't worried 
about speed.

Oh, do you mean a 7 inch limit with QTR? that would explain something because the same 
"style of print failures" that I was getting with 4 inches on the std driver is what I got with 
6 inches on QTR.  That would be a happy discovery, The 7ness I mean.
