Just installed QRT on a Windows XP platform running a 2200/UC and 
it's working smoothly -- except for long printing times. In timing 
the epson driver with a 5X7 print I get 3:40; the same print takes 
6:10 using QRT. Is this normal or is there a setting that I've 
missed? Thanks for any help.

That shoulb be QTR, as in QuadTone RIP...sorry.

Using the Epson 2200 with QTR (Mac) a 5x7 (360 ppi) took about 3:20.  
Resolution and dither settings will significantly affect printing time, 
as will your processor speed and RAM.  I used 1440 Super resolution, 
High Speed: Faster, and Ordered dither algorithim.  I used a "slow" Mac 
G4 with 768 MB RAM.

I printed a 3x5 (2mb, 300dpi TIFF) (24mb print file) using QTR on 
the parallel port of my 2200.  Took a little over 7 minutes.  Then I 
tried the same file on my USB connection (without QTR)and the file 
printed in under 3 minutes.
