You're printing color with QTR?

          I am using a Mac G5 and Epson Stylus R2400 inkjet printer. I have been printing all of my 
black & white work via the QTR RIP. When I print color I use various paper profiles. 
Everything had been going quite well until I loaded Apple's latest operating system OS X 
v10.5 Leopard. I wish I had not done so before doing some research. (please bare with me as 
my question is coming) 
After loading the new Mac system I tried doing some prints and found that the final print 
dialog box was much different than the previous version and that my color prints came out 
looking awful. I then found out that Epson had a new download for Leopard compatibility 
issues so I installed that. Things were looking better as the last print dialog box looked more 
familiar. When I decided to hit the final print button for producing the same color image 
(NOT using the QTR RIP) a warning window appeared saying: "no QuadToneRIP curves 
specified. Print quality is not assured." I had not even chosen the QTR RIP. I cannot seem to 
disable it. The print again comes out looking awful. How can I remedy this? Any help would 
be greatly appreciated as I am a professional photographer and this is making life kind of 
difficult. 

Thanks in advance!
