Issue 'Install[R3000] command with new '.txt'-files

Issue 'Install[R3000] command with new '.txt'-files

2014-02-06 by ad libitum Weinhandlung

Hi, I'm working with a MBP (Mavericks 9.1.) and an EPSON Printer R3000 (driver's updated).
All works fine and all of the options in the print menu for the QuadR3000 are available.
When I want to create a custom QTR curve, I opened it as described in TextEdit, saved it in the same folder as the other .txt-files and clicked the Install[R3000] command file and the script does the job in Terminal and created the .quad-file. 
But when I want to print a grayscale with 'QuadR3000' in print menu, the 'QuadR3000' is still selectable but the options for printing with the QuadR3000 are not there! 
I looked up in the '.quad'-folder and noticed that the newly created '.quad'-file is not executable (white file).
And when I wanted to delete the QuadR300-printer in SystemPrefs, I couldn't enter this panel because of an error in 'Printer & Fax'. So I had to reinstall my mac ... tried again and the same as mentioned above.

Thanks for help.

Hi Lucius,

It''s pretty likely that there's something wrong with the .txt curve file and that problem
then causes the other. If you just delete the .txt and the .quad the install should be
ok again. If you can't find why the .txt is wrong send me a copy and I'll check it out.
