QTR-Quadtone RIP

Jakub

I purchased a 3880 a couple months ago and had a similar problem getting QTR to recognize the printer.  I contacted Roy Harrington and he pointed me in the right direction:  "I did some checking with the 3880 and it appears to be compatible with the 3800.
I assume you are on a Mac.   To use the 3800 driver you just need to
pretend the printer is a 3800.   Look at  Tutorial.pdf on the last page -- it's labelled
Bonjour but the same idea works for what you want.  Create a printer named Quad3800 using QuadToneRIP 2.6 3800 but connected to your 3880.   Then you can run:
/Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/3800-UC/Install3800.command"

This worked for me.  I'm on a Mac with Snow Leopard.
