QTR-Quadtone RIP

Roy's comment about uninstalling and reinstalling printer drivers seemed odd 
to me so I looked up my Epsonn Stylus 2200 instruction manual available 
here:

http://ftp.epson.com/pdf/pho22_/pho22_pb.pdf

Please see pages 64 and 65 (bottom of the pdf pages).

On windows this doesn't seem to be necessary whereas on the Mac it depends 
on the OS version you are running. For OS X 10.x you seem to have to remove 
and re-add the printer from the Print Center only whereas for OS 8.6 to 9.x 
seems to require playing around with the Chooser.

I've been using PCs for a long time now and am considering getting a Mac 
next time around. From my perspective this seems unusually unintuitive for a 
Mac. Are there other little gotchas that a future Mac ex PC user might have 
to worry about?

Cheers,
Pierre

2200

The 2200 allows 2 kinds of black ink -- Matte Black and Photo Black.
An instance of the Epson driver is tied to one black only. If you
switch
blacks you need to re-install the Epson driver. If you'd like you can
name them differently "Stylus Photo 2200 PK" and "Stylus Photo 2200 MK".
