Re: [QuadtoneRIP] QTR on two 2200s-possible?

Hi John,

Sure, you can do it.
Others have mentioned the PC, but Mac setup is just a little different.

The first requirement is to run the Install2200 script with only one 
printer
online at a time.  This way the script will attach to the printer you 
want.
If you have different inksets, you'll already have different printer 
names
so there's no conflict -- i.e. Quad2200 and Quad2200-NK7.
If you have the same inksets there's a little more to do:
Drag the whole 2100-2200-UC folder from the download disk onto
your disk so you can change things  (it's read-only in the download).
There's an "Install2200" script in the folder, Duplicate (apple-D) the
script.  Now just change the name to something like  Install2200-one
and Install2200-two.   You'll be able to run the 2 install scripts and
thereby create printers "Quad2200-one"  and "Quad2200-two".
Be sure you just add dash and regular letters/numbers after.    The
"2200" and the "-" are important.
