QTR-Quadtone RIP

I think I now have a fix for this.  I don't have the problem with my HP printer
so it would be good it you could check it with your printer.

Download:    http://www.quadtonerip.com/QuadTone.plugin.zip
Unzip it and replace:   /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/QuadTone.plugin

Let me know what the results are.

Thanks,
Roy
