QTR-Quadtone RIP

I did try running it with the Epson 10000 driver also, and from the  
10600 driver. The printer accepts either, so I doubt it has been  
"blessed" as a 10600 printer from then on. I can print color fine via  
USB or network. Roy got back to me and said he was not sure of all  
the idiosyncrasies the 10000/10600 may have. BTW, I now call my  
printer a 10000.5  :)

Scratching head on this one.
