Quadtone Rip - Mac-Epson2200

Quadtone Rip - Mac-Epson2200

2004-08-19 by lkleaveland

Howdy,

New to the forum, have enjoyed following the threads and have been picking 
up a lot of good info. I only wish I had a faster connection so I could get 
through more posts in a timely fashion.

Question about the QTR. I just downloaded the software and installed the RIP, 
profiles and curves. Launched PSCS and set up the printer for Quadtone Rip 
with the Sepia curver, sent to printer and I watched from the print center the 
job processing. It got to 3% stalled there and then stopped the print. 

What am I missing?

Hi Lanse, try restarting. I had that and another issue that seemed to need a
kick. Also, if that's not enough, try shutting down, turning off your
printer, restart, and turn on your printer.. Then back to PS. I've had to do
that when the print spools and then the print center simply says that there
is nothing printing.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, took a break

printer. I did the shut down, restart, and then turned
on the printer. Will try the restart angle. 

Thanks again,

Perhaps reinstall the QTR, profiles and redo the printer Add. That's
something that Roy suggested months back when I had this happening, same
deal, just stops after it spools... sorry, forgot that. I still get some
strangeness, but the restart, or total printer and system restart does the
trick.

Good luck, 
Carolyn

Lanse, I forgot to ask if you were in panther, I had no issues with the QTR
spooling prior to panther.

Try toggling your setting for Printer Sharing in the Sharing Pref's 
pane. It doesn't matter whether sharing is on or off, but changing its 
setting will clear the spool file.

With Mac QTR becomes very transparent. It's nice saving presets in the printer driver.

That is how you get the OS print center to "see" QTR for the install, but
from what you said, it was already seen. I didn't realize it also reset the
printer spool.. I hope it works.

Does, I had trouble after switching to jaguar from OS9 last year, just the
install issue "seeing the driver", after that, all was fine. In Panther,
there were some issues in the beginning, text printing instead of image data
and the spooling shut down. But now it runs fine most of the time. You'll
enjoy it once you get it working for you.

Has someone else seen this particular problem?:

'QuadTone RIP Settings' does not appear under 'Feature Sets'.  The other 'F=
eature Sets' are 
available.

I have deleted and reinstalled the QUAD2200 printer, reinstalled 'QuadToneR=
IP
-2.0.pkg', still no  'QuadTone RIP Settings'

Any idea as to what is causing this problem?  What is the solution or worka=
rround?

I'm using QTR with a 2200 with OS-X 10.3.5.

Thanks.

Philip

Re: [Digital BW] Quadtone Rip - Mac-Epson2200

2004-08-21 by Mark

Just a thought...

Maybe it's an OS problem. Have you gone into the "Disk Utility" 
application recently and verified/repaired permissions? If not, try 
that first. If that doesn't help you might want to delete QUAD220 from 
the Printer Setup Utility and then reinstall QTR like you did before.

Also, if you've installed Gimp Print version 4.2.7 over an earlier 
version of same, you'll want to uninstall the old and then reinstall 
the new, making sure you choose Quadtone RIP under "printer model" it 
Printer Setup Utility once this is done (I missed that point my first 
try).

In short, repair permissions first, and see how that goes. I had to do 
both of these before I could get QTR to work this past week, but did 
them both in the second pass I made to install QTR, so I'm not sure 
which one provided the fix.

Hope this is either amusing or helpful.

Belly Back at the bar,

Still having trouble on the QTR spooling onto the
printer, everything looks right, have QUAD2200 as the
printer, have the Quadtone Rip Settings for curves, it
all seems like a go, but alas it is a no go. Have
uninstalled Gimp, reinstalled. have reloaded QTR 2.0,
profiles and curves and now I am in limbo. Is there a
way to uninstall QTR to start over fresh or do you
just reload to get a reset of the RIP? 

Am in limbo.

By the way Carolyn, your website is awesome!

Please check that when adding the printer you (in the Advanced tab) selected
Quadtone RIP under printer model (and not Epson) and then added the Epson
Stylus Photo 2200...QuadtoneRIP 2.0

So when you print you get the QUAD2200 printer monitor up, it spools and
then nothing prints? Or not even that far?

Yeah, I get all the right settings in Print Preview it
goes to the Quad Rip Driver and I have all the options
for curves and papers, send it off, in the Print
Center with the job showing, it starts sending with a
percentage spooled which stays at 0% and then just
stops.

Steve,

It doesn't freeze, when you watch the Show Jobs in
Print Center you can see it wants to spool, it does
that for awhile and then just stops or self-cancels
the driver.

Where I'm at now is going through a fresh reinstall of
QTR and getting downloads of the Epson profiles and
updated driver profiles for the 2200 and on my slow
connection everything moves at a snail's pace. So it's
still in process.

Take care
Lanse

Steve,

I finally got it up and running. The issue was and
incomplete GIMP set up. I only downloaded the
Ghostscript portion and missed the actual GIMP driver!
So now wonder I was not printing. That was what was so
confusing to me, going through the print setup
everything was as described until I sent it off to
print.  It was trying to spool but had nowhere to go
or something like that.

Got my first QTR print and am excited about  seeing
what  I can do with it. 

Thanks for your interest.

Lanse
