QTR-Quadtone RIP

Ok, looks like even though I haven't upgraded to Maverick, I needed to download the Maverick plugin and install command. Once i did that, everything installed correctly.

Thanks

Rob

I tried doing this and I got to the point of finding the .ppd.gz file and there isn't one for Quad3800-K7, and in fact see none for K7.

Am I missing something? Is there another download I'm missing for K7 profiles?

Thanks for your help,

Rob

You shouldn't have to go to all that trouble.

Make sure you install 2.7.2 if you upgrade an OS -- upgrading doesn't save everything
for QTR.  The Mavericks extra is good for both 10.8 and 10.9
The main issue is copying the new install script over and renaming it.
The name is critical -- it determines what happens.
