QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Tyler,

A couple quick questions:
Are the printers "through a router" on the ethernet or USB on the router?
I'm guessing the router isn't an Apple Airport.  ??
Do you use Bonjour on the PC or the Epson TCP/IP connection?
Do you have Bonjour enabled on the printer (thru the front panel)?
Does printer setup on the Mac see it as a Bonjour printer?

I guess that's more than a couple.  Just wondering how much Bonjour is
working or not.
Roy

PS.  Thanks Myron spelling it out again.  I'd add that when in Print&Scan
adding the printer
make sure the Print Using is the appropriate QTR driver.
