I thought QTR talked to gimp-print (now gutenprint) rather than
speaking Epson raster language directly.  If that's the case, QTR
could theoretically work with any printer supported by gutenprint.

I don't see the iPF5000 listed as supported by gutenprint, but
since gutenprint is open-source, I wouldn't be surprised if it
were supported someday.

But it would probably also take quite a bit of QTR tweaking to
make it work, and that's not so likely because few people (relative
to the universe of gutenprint users) are interested and knowledgeable
enough.
