Re: [QuadtoneRIP] custom sizes still grayed

Dear QTR users. Today I re-installed cups from source on my intel iMac and it fixes the problem with no other errors. This is how it's done on intel 64bit machines.

1. Get a free developer account with Apple.
2. Download xcode and install.
3. download both source files (1.4.4 and 1.4.5) from cups.org (www.cups.org)
4. Un-compress the files and open the Terminal app.
5. Type: cd  and a space and then drag the 1.4.4 folder icon over the terminal window and hit enter.
6. Type sudo ./configure --arch-withflags="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
7. sudo -B make install

8. Type: cd  and a space and then drag the 1.4.5 folder icon over the terminal window and hit enter.
9. Type sudo ./configure --arch-withflags="-arch i386 -arch x86_64"
10. sudo -B make install

11. Restart your computer.

This works for me. It might sound a bit complicated, but it seems to work and (if you already have xcode installed) you can get it fixed in about 10 minutes.

I experimented with building a .pkg installer for an easier fix, but I think the method described above is safer.

Hopefully 10.6.6 update will fix this problem.

All the best,
Walker
