Re: QuadR1800-K7 printer grayed out

2008-12-29 by kimreyx4@sbcglobal.net

Thanks, Roy, but I've done multiple uninstall/reinstall runs, deleting ppd files, trashing 
prefs, all the good stuff.  

It's bizarre, because the printer shows up normally in the Print & Fax window, yet doesn't 
show up in the print dialogues of the various programs, or just shows up grayed out in 
Photoshop.  If I create a new printer without using the install script, just via the Print & Fax 
window, selecting the QuadToneRIP driver, I can get it to show up in the print dialogue, 
but no curves show up in the QuadToneRIP settings panel.

Is anyone currently using this configuration: Mac OS 10.5.6, Epson R1800 (driver - 
QuadToneRIP 2.6 Epson 1800), Piezography K7 ink set, Photoshop CS3?
