QTR-Quadtone RIP

Correct, because QTR is not visible as a printer on Windows systems, as 
it doesn't use the Windows printing subsystem, but can only print using 
qtrgui.

I don't use Lightroom as my final 'print' program, but if I did I'd use 
the lightroom print subsystem, and in the print job section probably 
select (these are in the Lightroom 4 print module - I  assume LR3 is 
similar):

print to jpeg file
file resolution 360 dpi (less resampling for qtr or the printer to do ...)
print sharpening standard (try other settings too and see which you prefer)
jpeg quality 100
profile QTR_RGB_Matte_Paper (or ...Photo... as appropriate)
intent Perceptual

you might want to change these, but should be reasonable starting point

(There is an option in QTRgui to set a watched folder that it will 
monitor and automatically print files that appear into it, using the 
same QTR setting as the previous file - I only use this if I'm printing 
a batch at once, otherwise I'd probably end up creating several prints 
with the wrong QTRgui setting before I noticed ;) )

hope that helps!
