Hi all Mac Mavericks,
I've started looking at QTR on Mavericks and there are a couple issues. I think the problems
are all a Privacy and Security additions. OSX now has a Sandbox concept for applications.
The idea is to keep an app's hands off other stuff. It actually started in Mountain Lion but is more informed now.
As of now the QTR driver and code is not setup for Sandbox. So there are a couple issues
that cause trouble.
1) You do have to re-install the QTR software -- re-run the Install-QTR-2.7.2.pkg
2) The printer install scripts can't create a printer but you can do that in Sys Preferences > Print & Scan.
Read the Tutorial.pdf (last few pages) for manually setting up a Bonjour printer. Using this same scheme
for instance create a printer named Quad9880 and Use the QTR 2.7 Epson 9880. Add the printer.
Then go run the Install9880 script to install the curves. (for K7: name Quad9880-K7, use QTR 9880).
This should get you the right printer setup.
3) Another issue is that the print dialog page is not Sandbox'ed so if the program you are printing from
is sandbox'ed you don't get the nice page. So far PS CS6 is not sandboxed so that's probably ok
and QTR Print-Tool also will work. Most of Apple's programs probably won't but they are not used for
printing B&W usually.
I think this should get people running well enough for a while.

I've installed Mavericks OS X 10.9 on a machine I print from. I had to reset my printers and scanners in the system preferences. When I went back to reinstall the QTR printers (both UC inks and K7 inks) the terminal command gave me this error:
"ALERT! **** QuadToneRIP does not support printer 9880 ****"Boy oh boy, this is an unexpected headache. Anyone have any thoughts?
