QTR-Quadtone RIP

David,  Roy inquired about my problem, and this was my reply to him:

Here is the name of the file I was using when the problem started: 
 QTR_1400_UT14_EDSM_cool_1_BstK50_ovrlp5_RR.txt

I believe it is the length of the file name that is important, I don't believe it is compatible 
with CS3 or perhaps the Mac (ver. 10.4.11) print dialog.  I shortened the name too: 
 UT14_EDSM_cool_1_BstK50_ovrlp5_RR.txt  and it worked.  I didn't change any of the 
contents in the file, I just simply changed the name of the file.

The problem started as soon as I installed the curve with the longer file name; not only did 
screw up the function of that profile but the whole Ouad1400-UT14 driver.  After clicking 
on the "Print" in the CS3 dialog box with the QTR driver "Quad1400-UT14" selected, when 
the next "Printer" dialog box came up and you go to the third selection box from the top 
and try to select "QuadTone RIP", it wasn't there as a choice.  To fix the problem I went in 
and deleted all of the "xxx.quad" files in my "Quad1400-UT14" Profile folder, shortened 
the name a bit in the folder with the curve txt files and reinstalled using the install 
command.

I am currently using a file name:  QTR_1400_UT14_EDSM_cool_1_BoostK50_RR.txt   So the 
critical length is somewhere between the number of characters in the first file name 
mentioned above and this one.

Hope this helps,
Randy
