Installing QTR 2.7.2 error on OSX 10.8.5

Installing QTR 2.7.2 error on OSX 10.8.5

2013-12-27 by Robert Krawiec

Hi All,

I'm trying to install QTR 2.7.2 on my mac and I'm getting an error (see below). I'm running OSX 10.8.5 and I'm trying to install 3800-K7.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rob

This sounds like a similar permissions issue I ran into when I installed Mavericks on my laptop. Here is a cut and paste of my fix:

 Epson R3000 Wireless QTR install issues

First problem is a permissions problem. Open Terminal window and  navigate to /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/EpsonXXX directory

Then type sudo InstallRXXXX.command

It will either install or you will get an error like this:
	
	Installing QuadToneRIP Curves Printer QuadR3000
	Couldn't open /etc/cups/ppd/QuadR3000.ppd for reading: No 				such file or directory

This means that for whatever reason, the silly .ppd file is gone. You need to put it there.

Open a Finder window using Go->Go to Folder... and tell it to go  to /etc/cups/ppd

in the terminal window type ls -al

You will should _not_ see the QuadR3000.ppd file in here. Leave this terminal window open on your desktop.

There is something hosed up with the Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks permissions that will not allow the ppd files to expand properly. You will have to outsmart Apple and all its nanny-state rules.

So now open up a separate Finder window and type in Go->Go to Folder.. and then type in /Library/Printers/QTR 

Open up the ppd folder and double click on the appropriate .ppd.gz file. In my case QuadR3000.ppd.gz and it will probably decompress into your Downloads folder.

Now navigate to your Downloads folder and drag the decompressed QuadR3000.ppd folder to the /etc/cups/ppd folder. The system will ask you for your password. 

_Now_ you can install the printer properly. Go back to where you began, and open up a terminal window and navigate to your install script, e.g. cd /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/EpsonXXX

Type in sudo InstallR3000.command, give your password at the prompt and you should be in business. If you have a networked printer, you will have to supply the Install script with the network IP address.

It really should not be this hard. Thanks, Apple.

You shouldn't have to go to all that trouble.

Make sure you install 2.7.2 if you upgrade an OS -- upgrading doesn't save everything
for QTR. The Mavericks extra is good for both 10.8 and 10.9
The main issue is copying the new install script over and renaming it.
The name is critical -- it determines what happens.

2013-12-27 by Robert Krawiec

I tried doing this and I got to the point of finding the .ppd.gz file and there isn't one for Quad3800-K7, and in fact see none for K7.

Am I missing something? Is there another download I'm missing for K7 profiles?

Thanks for your help,

Rob

Ok, looks like even though I haven't upgraded to Maverick, I needed to download the Maverick plugin and install command. Once i did that, everything installed correctly.

Thanks
