Uninstalling QTR curves on OSX

Uninstalling QTR curves on OSX

2004-10-15 by Benjamin C. Pierce

I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with QTR (on OSX)... so much
fun that I've now got quite a few not-quite-what-I-intended curves
installed.  Is there an easy way to tidy some of them away?  (The
install script seems to be doing some brain surgery on system printing
configuration files that I am reluctant to try to undo by hand!)

Thanks,

In the beta9 download in the folder (really a link) CurveDropBox
you will see folders for all the different printers.  In each folder
there's a bunch of .quad files.  These are the curves.  Just drag the
ones you don't want to the Trash, then you have to Run-Install-Curves
or re-create any curve for that printer -- this will update the info
in the driver itself.
