Can't print after installing curves

Can't print after installing curves

2012-01-14 by chaplovejoy123

Hi,

I've just started trying to put together a workflow using QTR. I successfully installed and made a few test prints using one of the included curves for my 3880. Once I made sure everything was working I printed out calibration targets and started work on developing custom curves for my paper. I copied an existing curve file, edited the ink limits and crossovers, and installed the curves again to print linearization targets.

This is where the trouble started. After re-running the Install3880.command script I'm no longer able to print. I've tried removing the printer and reinstalling using both ethernet and USB connections. Printing seems to wake the printer up but then it never actually prints. This happens with the included curves as well as my edited curve.

I'm running OS X 10.7 and QTR 2.7.2. I'm not seeing any error messages in the console when I try to print. Printing via the Epson driver works fine. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer to get things going agin.

I've pasted the output from the diagnostic script and my edited curve file below in the event that they might help diagnose the issue.

Thanks,
chap
