QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have a more complicated setup, and have not been able to make it work with QTR or the OEM driver, so it's not a QTR issue but I might as well throw it out here anyway...
I have 3 LF Epsons connected to a PC, 2 through a router, one USB, all works fine from the PC. My main computers are Macs, and the PC is networked to them. I send files from the Mac to the PC to then open and print there with another RIP.
WHen I try to find those printers here on the Mac, to also use QTR to them from the Mac, Bonjour does not see them. If I use "windows". I can select the PC and it does see those printers, I then select which software to use etc. Now they do show up on the list, and show as idle.. but nothing can print to them, neither the OEM driver or QTR, the Epson utilities don't see the printer either.. odd since the printer setup does seems to see it..
ANy ideas? Too complicated?
Thanks,
Tyler
