Carl,

Thank you for reminding me this issue. I forgot you mentioned this, 
but now I recall. I tried myself now but with also no success. I find 
the following : 

- There IS something weird with these QTR-RGB profiles, not onlu with 
use of LR. If I try to install them the "official" way, (right-click 
on the profile, select "install profile) (I'm on windows, as you may 
recall from the beginning of this thread), the photo-paper and matte-
paper profile give an error message. The RGB-lab profile doesn't. 
- If I copy the profiles manually to \windows\system32
\spool\drives\color, I DO find the QTR-RGB-matte paper and QTR-RGB-
photo-paper profiles as avaible print profiles in LR, but NOT the QTR-
RGB-LAB profile (that I understand I must use).
- If I use QTR profiles in LR, I get an warning about the profiles 
being invalid. I CAN complete the print action (no system crash), but 
the outcoming file is blank. 

So, indeed the QTR icc profiles seem to be corrupt indeed. 
Furthermore, I don't understand why I don't see the RGB-LAB profile. 
That seems to be a different beast altogether.
