Suddenly and inexplicably the QTR settings pane has gone missing from the drop-down
menu. I've tried various things:
Deleting QuadXXXX printers and re-running installer script (and of course quitting and
relaunching PS)
Repairing permissions
Cleaning caches (YASU)
Uninstalling and reinstalling Gutenprint
Uninstalling and reinstalling QTR (although nothing appears to be changed or installed
even if I rename the QTR folder)
Software: Mac OS10.4.8; Photoshop CS
Curiously a QTR pane is available from the non-QTR Gutenprint driver, but it's all
wrong...most of the settings (curves etc) are absent.
Here's what I get from running the diagnostic script from the installer (I'm afraid my
knowledge of Unix is close to zero):
