QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks so much for your suggestions, Myron...I had previously tried them all and nothing 
worked. I was able to get QTR to print a few times but the paper sizes were skewed and 
the prints had intense vericle banding. The Epson driver doesn't print at all, but gives me 
either the "paper out or not loaded correctly" message or a "generic class waiting for 
device" and then just hangs there.

I'm on a PPC dual G5 and never had any issues with Panther, but don't want to go back to 
it. It's all incredibly frustrating. Eventually I'll get an r1800, but that is not in my economic 
stars right now and so this is pretty unfortunate.

~sigh~ just when I had a good printing system down.
