Re: QTR interfering with other printers

2007-04-19 by csprenge

Hi Roy, 

thanks, I have already removed the plugin and all other files 
listed in the diagnostic script output.

Would be great if you could investigate when you have time
again.  I can send you the output of the dignostic script if
this is useful.

Cheers, 
Christoph
