Delete /Library/Printers/qtr (the entire folder), re-name curve to a smaller name, delete printer, reinstall QTR, and re-add printer.

Best,
Walker

QTR is still trying to load curves that I deleted, including the one that I think is the bad curve file. When I delete the printer, delete QTR 2.7.7 and reinstall, the bad curve file still shows up when I run the Install3800.command. Here's what I get. The suspected bad curve file is named Pd_KK_3800-UCpK-OHP_new-ziatype-arches-01

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
