QTR-Quadtone RIP

I would guess from the 'Q' in the printer description, that its for a 
specific monochrome inkset (Q standing for Quadtone) where all inks are 
shades of grey. As you're using Epson inks it will be printing colour 
inks where it expects to have have a lighter shade of grey. 'G' will 
probably refer to an ink manufacturer.

If you're using the Epson inks, unless someone else says different stick 
to the Epson driver.
