Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: QuadR1800-K7 printer grayed out

2008-12-30 by Roy Harrington

Hi Alan,

That is strange - I´ve never seen the printers grayed out.  Since you
can see the
printer when created in Print&Fax, create it that way and then run the
InstallR1800-K7
install script.  It´ll use the existing printer - make sure its called
QuadR1800-K7 and
uses the QuadToneRIP 2.6 R1800 driver.
