QTR-Quadtone RIP

I suspect you're right, that it really doesn't matter what the printer profile is.  My exchange with Roy only related to using Gray Gamma 2.2 as the printer profile, and he said that QTRIP 2.6.2 would print just fine using QTR curves in Snow Leopard with the CS4 Printer Profile to "Gray Gamma 2.2".  He did not indicate that other printer profiles wouldn't work as well.  

I raised the issue with Roy because the QTRIP 2.6.2 Release Notes say that Mac users need to print in Leopard using CS3 instead of CS4 until some color management issue is resolved, and nobody has ever been able to tell me whether or not the issue has been fixed.  I finally got tired of running two versions of Photoshop at the same time, so I asked Roy how to make QTRIP work in Snow Leopard printing through CS4, and that's where the response I related in my posting came from.  But Roy did not indicate that other printer profiles wouldn't work as well.
