QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi again,

looks like I found the solution and apologies for misunderstanding the previous instructions. 'Resetting the Print System' helped. I thought this just refers to deleting presets and to removing/adding printers. If anyone else wonders what this means and how it is done, you can find the details here:

As these instructions also talk about this process updating permissions, I repaired permissions on my machine as well using disk utility (No idea whether this helped).

Re-installed the printer using the QTR script before any other printer and I am not getting the image size invalid error anymore. I have not tried printing using the Epson driver yet.

Interestingly, when opening the QTR page in print settings, the last used adjustments (curves etc.) were still present. That did not seem to bring the problem back however.

Now trying to work out how to print on small custom paper sizes off roll paper, but that is a different issue.

Cheers,

Holger
