QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks Mike
Very frustrating given that(if I remember) QTR was originally set up for windows. I found a post by Tyler Boley but it seems to be(since I didn't see it mentioned)Mac-centric. The part that stumped me was

"Hitting print will then take you into your normal QTR dialogue box assuming that has been selected in print settings."

So in a windows envionment, this just isn't possible and printing QTR through LR doesn't exist and in order to do so, one HAS to export the file in order to use the QTR driver. Or am I wrong?
