QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Roy/Sandy,

I just removed all QTR files and folders with the dmg for that and installed the 2.7.6 instead of the 2.7.7 as I thought it best to start with as clean an install as possible as suggested in the last reply from Sandy and 2.7.6 seems better for the 10.6.8 I have. I checked in Preferences and Print-Tool and confirmed all the Quad printers were no longer listed. Before the 2.7.6, install, went through all of backup locations and cleared out any QTR folders. 

On install of 2.7.6,  ran the script to install the 1430-MIS . Worked perfect, listing it in Preferences and Print-Tool as the Quad1430-MIS. In Print-Tool all of the profiles displayed in the QuadtoneRIP  drop down. Next ran the install script for the R1800-3MK. All messages scrolled through with confirmations for creating curves and the Quad printer as before. The new  QuadR1800-3MK was listed in Preferences as well as Print-Tool. But, the persistent issue with no curves displayed in the QuadToneRIP window for curve selectionfor the QuadR1800-3MK remained. 

Next ran install script for R1800. Installed with messages as above for curve creation and new QuadR1800 printer. The new QuadR1800 was listed in Preferences and Print-Tool as QuadR1800 exactly as it should. However, this time, in the Print-Tool QuadToneRIP drop down section, all of the curves did in fact display correctly. 

To puzzle this out, in Preferences discovered the Quad1430-MIS and QuadR1800 printers created by the scripting routine listed their respective 2.7.6 Epson drivers, but for the R1800-3MK no driver was listed. Even manually entering that driver back in did not allow for the curves listed for the the R1800-3MK to display in Print-Tool. Seems to point to the missing driver for the R1800-3MK at the root of the problem.

And to make this even more curious, I copied all of the R1800-3MK profiles straight into the R1800 folder and installed. No error alerts during that routine. Back at Print-Tool, checking on the R1800 with the R1800-3MK profiles, same original problem with no profiles displayed at all. 

My work around has been to delete the 3MK-prefix from all the profiles copied from the R1800-3MK into the R1800 folder. After running the InstallR1800.command script again, all of those profiles are displayed as they should in the QuadToneRIP drop down in Print-Tool.

Thanks and my appreciation once again to Roy and Sandy for taking their time to read through my long winded descriptions, and offering their sage advice. I'm afraid this dialog has probably bored the other members to tears, but this local little puzzle has turned out quite well now.

Jerry

 Hi Jerry
 I don't see anything in particular that you
 are doing differently.You indicate version 2.7.7
 -- have you had previous versions on this
 computer?
 Are you using the QTR driver download exactly as
 is?  Or are you making profiles,or got some
 profiles somewhere else? Are you sure no error
 messages are coming out during the InstallR1800-3MK
 ?Maybe you should copy all the text and email to
 me. A bad profile can messup the .ppd file which
 links all the OSX print stuff together.
 Also run the DiagnosticScript.command -- copy
 & paste all the text from that andemail
 it.

 Jerry,
 
 When you open Print Tool you should see at the very top
 right of the screen a drop-down box that says PRINTER. You
 should use the Drop Down menu and select QuadR1800. Now
 click in the box to the right, PRINT, and a second screen
 will open. On this page make sure printer is set to
 QuadR1800, Layout is set to QuadToneRIP, Mode is set to Quad
 Tone RIP (8 or 16 bit), or Calibration. Now you should be
 able to choose your Curve, Paper Feed, Printer Resolution
 and Speed.
 
 If this does not work for you it is possible that you have
 installed more than one QuadToneRIP application folder in
 either you system hard drive, or on another drive, and the
 Print Tool is somehow linking to the wrong one.
