You should find Print-2200.bat in \Program Files\QuadToneRIP\bin (at 
least, I did).

Here's my directory listing:

 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 188B-62C0

 Directory of c:\Program Files\QuadToneRIP\bin

12/22/2004  01:59 PM    <DIR>          .
12/22/2004  01:59 PM    <DIR>          ..
12/22/2004  01:59 PM                 0 dirlist.txt

As you can see, no Print-2200.bat.

I'd recommend using the QTRgui rather than the .bat files.  The newer
version 2.1b and latest QTRgui are much more convenient.

I did start out using the QTRgui, but as I mentioned, absolutely nothing
happens when I click on the "Print" button except that a command window
opens, scrolls some text, and closes very quickly. So I thought I'd try the
batch file, but it doesn't exist. I'm happy with Imageprint for my 7600, but
I'd really like to be able to print B&W without metamerism on my 2200 also,
so I'd like to use QTR for that printer. If necessary, I can go back to
using my Linux box for it, but I'd really prefer to use my Linux box for
other things than a print server.
