QTR-Quadtone RIP

The 3890 will have a different driver to the 3880.  It's part of Epson's efforts to make it harder for third parties to manufacture blank cartridges with chips.

I had the same problem here in Australia with the 1410 v the 1400.  Roy got me going with the following advice:

"As long as it really is compatible with a 1400 there's no trouble.
Look at the last 2 pages of Tutorial.pdf in the download.   It talks about
Bonjour but the same idea works for different printers.

Just name the printer Quad1400  with whatever inkset extension you
want such as Quad1400-MIS ...
Select Print Using:  QuadToneRIP 2.7 Epson 1400

Now you can use the Install1400 script."

If you do the same, you should be back on track.  So in the printer set up in system preferences (if you are on a Mac) you would name your printer Quad3880, set the extension as Quad-3880 and select print using QuadTone RIP 2.7 Epson 3880.
