Digital BW, The Print

Hi Frank,

As several people already have said, QTR does not do borderless so you can't
print an 8.5x11 image on 8.5x11 paper.  QTRgui should be telling you this
saying image does not fit.  Most printers have a 1/8 inch margin all around, but
Pro printers have a .55 in bottom margin.   It's best to NOT put borders on
your images in Photoshop, use the positioning in QTRgui to put the borders
you want.

Despite all this, QTR should truncate the image not print a line at the edge.
So after doing the clean out and installing 2.2a if you still get the problem
could you send me the log files in \Program Files\QuadToneRIP ?
