QTR-Quadtone RIP

OSX does use the unique serial number of the printer.  So you will
need to re-setup the printers --
i.e. Delete and re-Add in Print&Fax for Epson, Delete for QTR and
Install3880 to re-Add.

Presets are a bit more complicated.  There are 2 kinds -- general and
printer specific.  The
printer specific ones will be gone since you have a new printer.  The
general ones should be there.
(not if you do a "reset printing system")

I would always recommend printer specific presets.  If you have these
a way you might preserve
them is to take the printer specific preset, save as a general preset,
get your new printer going
and then convert the general back to a specific.  I never tried this
but I'd think it should work.
However Presets are touchy (i.e. error prone) so better write down
what you have in case you
need to start over.

Epson is replacing my 3880 because of a sensor issue, and I don't know if the OSX printing system identifies printers by some kind of unique ID number, and if so, if I'll have to reinstall printing sofware.
