Hi Tyler

In looking at the output it seems that there may be some missing settings.
These are odd:
D [10/Oct/2013:11:22:58 -0700] [Job 954] stp_get_ppd_file(v) ||
D [10/Oct/2013:11:22:58 -0700] [Job 954] stp_get_resolution(v) ||
D [10/Oct/2013:11:22:58 -0700] [Job 954] stp_get_media_size(v) ||

So I have two ideas about possible causes:
1) he's got a new curve in the install folder that have something in them that is corrupting
the printer file (PPD) so that default values are not picked up. So the question is --
has he made any new curves/profiles lately? Look in where he runs the Install4800 script.
Are there any .txt files that have names with special characters? Is there a .txt which
isn't a curve description?

2) the other idea is Printer Presets. OSX retains settings as you change things and in the
past there were settings from the Epson driver that "leaked" over to QTR which affected
what was sent to QTR. Weird interactions can happen. So the thing to do is always
start making a preset from a known good setting. I.e. start with Default, go through
QTR setting what you want and then Save As... your Preset. Always use a Preset
that is specifically made for QTR. QTR 2.7.2 has some code to help make it immune
to theses problems but maybe there's another one that creeps up.

Anyway, Tyler, I'd mostly try to start from scratch with curves and presets. See if there
are any problems with the basic stuff and add a curve at a time to see if one in particular
causes the problem. I'd just redo the Presets.

If you want to just zip up the whole install folder he is using and send it to me I'll look at it.

Yes. Just double click the script. It pops up a bunch of text. Copy & paste the whole thing back to me.

I see the diagnostic script here in the qtr folder, I'll try to lead him through that tomorrow and hopefully have something more helpful to pass on. I assume you just run it and a log comes up I can paste in here?

Thanks Roy

Hi Tyler

Can you find out more about what the error is? Running the DiagnosticScript right after getting the error should give more info.

I wonder if the Epson driver is somehow hogging the USB port.

well I'm going to keep hammering away at this because it's become an ongoing problem. So he reinstalled QTR and made a good print, worked. Then made a few color prints with the OEM driver, then went back to B&W and tried to make another print with QTR. This is within minutes of the reinstall, the good print, etc.

This time, same "error" again..

He's about had it.

No ideas here?

Thanks,
