QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm getting the exact same problem Eric is getting.  I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8.  When the 
2200 reaches the final 1/4 inch, it pauses, and then the printer head starts to go from one 
end to the other.  If the paper is not completely flat, it will catch on the edges and wrinkle 
the paper.  I'm not seeing this with Epson driver.

The image quality from this driver is great.  I just wish there's a way to get around this 
problem.

Thanks.

John
