Re: QTR Support for Epson 1430 ?

2013-04-28 by rossfmj

You can use the 1430 with QTR on the mac but there are a couple of fiddly bits involved.

I am using the 1430 in the UK (where it is known as the 1500!) with OSX 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.

It's a while since I last set it up so may be a bit hazy.

You will need to name the printer something like "QUAD 1400" through the printer thingy in system preferences to use the 1400 install command.  I've not tried re-naming the install commands to match the printer name. You also may need to access the QTR folders in the mac Hard Drive library, Printers file, to over-ride the read only settings to make them read and write, this will allow the profiles to load properly for the printer to use them.

If you look through my earlier postings you may find where I described the process in more detail.  If you are using an earlier mac operating system there may be some jiggery pokery I'm not aware of.

Hope this is of some help.
