QTR-Quadtone RIP

I have an Epson R300 printer...I have tried to print photos but have 
had nothing but trouble from the very beginning.  First the photos were 
blurred and nothing would make them clear...clean heads etc...the Epson 
PhotoStater 3.0 program prints clear photos.  I have spent hours witout 
success.

Without doing anything but rebooting my computer, now if I try to print 
I now get.... Quad Tone Rip Front End
                   I/O Error 32..

Nothing will get rid of it....

Does anyone have  a solution to my problems?  I have had 3 different 
kinds of printers and different photo printing 
programs...Epson...Canon..etc which are just plug in and use and get 
good and consistent photos from the first try...Has anyone else had my 
experienc or am I just a QuadTone dummy?
