QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks, Roy.  The Bonjour method is much easier, and the one I use for everything else! It didn't work for me because I was running the QTR script *before* I had installed the Quad printer.  Sheesh!

For those of you listening in, the following *seems* to be the best way to install an Epson 4880 on a Mac for use with K7 inks (i.e. 7 black inks instead of colour):

**********************
Go to SystemPreferences / Print-&-Scan / "+" (at bottom of box on the left) / Add Printer or Scanner

	Choose the EpsonStylusPro4880 that is a Bonjour printer (rather than Epson TCP/IP)
	Change the name to Quad4880-K7.  
	Let OS X install the printer (with the new name).

In Finder, go to the folder Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/4880-K7/

	Double Click on "Install4880-K7.command". 
	This command script will do two things:
		1) create profiles from the curve description files in that subdirectory, and 
		2) create ~/Library/Printers/Quad4880-K7.app 

Now "Quad4880-K7" will be an available printer choice, and the curves defined in the directory containing "Install4880-K7.command" will appear in the printer dialogue.
***********************

IS THIS ACCURATE? 

I'm trying to create little sets of very specific instructions for myself, since I tend to forget what I did months ago, even though it may have seemed so obvious at the time. :-)
