The fact that you are getting the 2nd QTR pulldown indicates that
the install of the profiles didn't work.  You should always
add the printer (such as Quad2200) using the Install2200 script.
If you just use Printer Setup Utility you get the symptoms that
you mention -- not only do the profile files have to be in the
correct place they must be put into the internal table (the ppd 
file).
