Digital BW, The Print

I am getting absolutely beautiful results using Roy's great QTR, but so 
far only on sheet paper with existing page sizes...

Has anyone figured out a way to get roll paper working on the 7600 
using Panther 10.3.4 and Gimp 4.2.5? When the printer is loaded with 
roll paper, set to either roll-auto-cut or roll-no-cut, and saying 
"ready" I send  a job to the printer, and the whole job spools and says 
"printing" but the printer just sits idle and "ready" and never does 
anything. I am choosing the roll option in the Gimp driver. Everything 
seems in order, but nothing happens. In sheet mode everything is fine. 
I have also tried all the other combinations: roll paper set at the 
printer but sheet set in the driver and the other way around as well... 
all with no success. I'd send a really nice bottle of wine to anyone 
who can help me fix this problem!

Hi Eric,

It sounds like you're doing most things correctly.

In the Quad7600 driver under 'Paper Feed' click the radio button for 
'All pages from' and select 'Roll' in the pulldown menu. On your 
printer, use either roll-autocut or roll-nocut.

Does that win the wine? haha
