QTR printing directly from Applications is something that I'd like to 
do.  But
there is a fair amount of knowledge and effort needed to do it.   So 
I'm not
at all sure if or when that might happen.

If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro (the full product not just the free 
Reader) you
might find printing to a PDF file useful.   Then save to TIFF for 
printing in QTR.
