Thank you very much for these suggestions, they were very helpful in getting me to the next step of figuring out what is preventing the Quad7800 printer from working properly. I tried everything you said and was able to get the Quad 7800 printer back (the one I manually added) with all of the paper sizes and menu functions available.
The only problem now is that there are no curves at all in the curves menus. The QuadtoneRIP printer menu is either looking in the wrong place for the curves or there is a lingering permissions issue. The printer the script creates is still useless.
I watched the terminal carefully this time and noticed the script was having trouble with permissions, some files it couldn't open and it could not successfully save any of the profiles. This was not the case earlier, though, as the Library/Printers/QTR/quadtone/Quad7800 folder is fully populated with quad files from last weekend, both mine and the default. I manually altered permissions on the files and folders in applications and the library and ran the "install7800" command again and this time it did read and write. The printer that the install script creates has no driver assigned and thus no paper, no menus. If I name my manually created printer (great idea) the same as the script does it overwrites it with the useless printer.
I'll get along without borderless printing for now, I decided it isn't critical for what I am doing right now and stick to Windows for printing B&W. with QTR. It would take a lot more time investment to try and trick the printer into fully working outside of knowing if development changes are necessary to have QTR working on OS X 10.9.4
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Once I have gotten consistent results with my profiles I will post them for others to use. PK profiles were very hard to come when I looked for them.

I just re-read your original post, and it sounds like you may have not added the printer and QTR driver through Print and Fax in your system preferences.
Here is what I would do: In System Preferences>Print and Fax (it might be Print and Scan now—I am writing this on my 10.6 computer) remove the StylusPro7800 and Quad7800 from the list of installed printers in the left hand side of the window.
Re-add the StylusPro7800 and choose whatever the latest Epson driver is in the Print Using drop down
Then, still in print and fax, add the 7800 again, and this time choose QuadToneRip version 2.7.5 in the "Print Using" drop down option. That should load the printer as Quad7800 with all the paper sizes and allow you to print using your installed your profiles. You might still need to run the install script in applications/QuadToneRip/profiles/4800-7800-9800-UC.
Hope that helps,
