yes it does, but it doesn't do what I would call "smart" scaling and
sharpening, using some of these fancy algorythms qimage and some other
apps have. 99.9% of the time it works great and I don't think about
it. But I'm getting more and more files in that are less than ideal,
and people want prints from them that are too big. So I thought I
would play with some other options.

yes that may be the problem. It seems to make it's decisions based on
what the selected printer driver wants to see, which is RGB.
On the other hand, I think a lot of people are using it with QTR, so
maybe I'm just doing something wrong...
