Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR and OS X Mavericks -- Updates + new Install scripts

2013-11-12 by Roy Harrington

Hi Marc,

I'm betting you have the Preset issue that shows errors on the max paper size.
Do you get a Letter size print out? This is when the size that QTR sees is too large.

The following describes the issue:

What's going on is that the Preset (actually Last Used Settings)
has both QTR settings and Epson settings. The Epson settings come
from some previous
printing that had borderless 13x19 printing. So it sets this
variable to expand the size by
3% (Epson does this to make sure there's no white line on side). So
in the end the
13in wide is multiplied by 1.03 which is too big. Pretty weird and
contrived but that's whats happening.

I tried to find a way to clean up a particular Preset but OSX seems
pretty determined.
The most foolproof is probably to Trash all the preset files and
reboot the computer
and start from scratch. But the less drastic way that I think will work is:
When you are trying to make a Preset, first select Printer, second
select Standard as
the Preset, (or on newer OS's its called Default Settings.
select all the options you want and then in the Preset - Save As a new name.
The main thing here is not to start with an existing Preset which may
have old values in it.
Another thing that I'd recommend is to always use Presets for a
particular printer not
all printers. -- you should see that in the Preset Save window. Be
sure to keep Epson Presets separate from QTR Presets.

I still have the problem with full width printing on the 9880, it simply doesn't work (I get thumbnail sized prints instead of intended 108 cm...). Going back to an earlier OSX and using the exact same paper-settings works fine. Does anyone else have this issue?

There is a new download on the quadtonerip download page:

This includes some small patches to run on Mavericks plus an new install script
that handles remote printers (network or wireless or shared) and allows using existing drivers for other printers. -- most notably -- 1430 printer using 1400 driver -- and
alternate Epson names in various countries.
