Quad Tone RIP Problem with Mac OSX and Epson 2100

Quad Tone RIP Problem with Mac OSX and Epson 2100

2005-05-03 by extra4363

I have downloaded Roy Harrington's Quad Tone RIP and installed it together 
with Ghostscript on my Mac G4, running Mac OS 10.2 8.  The printer appears 
in the Printer List, all of the paper curves are showing in the Print dialog box  
but no matter what I do, the Epson 2100 printer simply refuses to work at all.  

I assume that it is a simple basic problem or omission on my part but I can't 
discover it.  Print centre shows the printer in the Printer List as Quad2100 as it 
should.  When I try to "add" this printer,  I get only Epson 2100 as an option.  

Can anyone assist please.  Everything shows up according to the Basic 
Tutorial but the printer will not start.  It appears that the printer is not getting 
the information required.  It prints normally otherwise.

I just recently found a problem with Jaguar and the 2.2 version.  So for the time
being you should run the 2.1 version (they are both on the download page).
Just delete the Quad2100, install 2.1 over what's already there and run the 
Install2100 script from 2.1.

Thanks Roy.  However, I think I will upgrade to OS 10.3 (and install that 
version) rather than go back to 10.1.
