Anyone using QTR2 and sending the output to a Windows print server via 
Samba on EITHER OS X or RedHat Linux?

Two quick comments for you, Keith. I'm a recent convert to
QTR, running a dedicated Redhat 9 installation on a separate
box only for that purpose. Epson 2200 connected to the Linux box.

(1) I haven't tried doing what you're asking about here; 
I learned just enough to get RH9 up and cooking without trying
anything fancy. So I copy a tif image into a shared folder 
between my pc/linux boxes and print from the linux command line. 
If what you suggest is possible, it would be a very nice 
compromise, and I'd switch to such a setup so I could use the
standard Windows dialogs to check ink levels.

(2) I had no problems using the CUPS/GIMP packages as installed 
by Redhat. Another poster suggested that one should download
them separately, but I haven't seen any need for that.

yes, sort of.  i can access the printers on my windows server just fine, and
can send the qtr output to them, but i didn't mess with it long enough to
get good qtr output.  if you need to know how to print remotely from linux
to winows, i can help if that's what you need.

Yes, I tried doing exactly that, and it worked fine. I'm on holiday in
spain now, sitting in a internet caf\ufffd, so I don\ufffdt remember the exact
setup, but it involved installing a driver in windows to share the printer
over TCP/IP and requesting the IP adress of the print server as an LPR
port in CUPS... Or something like that... I'll see if I can find the exact
details when I\ufffdm back home.
