QTR-Quadtone RIP

HI

Am interested in hearing roll printing experiences, on QTR of course :)

Both Mac and PC

Is it working for you?

Do you run it simultaneously with loaded and active Epson drivers?  If so, are the Epson 
drivers set up on USB or Firewire?

I have been running Ep on FW for roll and setup QTR for roll on USB.  The good news is 
that nothing bad happened so far.  (some one mentioned that it might ruin the printer to 
have both cables setup at once).

I have not made the QTR work yet.

Thanks
Scott

Advantage?  mostly habit I guess.  FW works great and why change?

but it sounds like I should

thanks
Scott

the Epson driver and I'm printing through a network setup.

I'm not sure how relevent this is but at one time I wanted my Mac to 
be connected to my 2200 via usb and my Dell PC connected to the same 
2200 via firewire.  I had intermittent problems with this 
arraingement, called Epson for guidance and was told that Epson 
won't support this type of setup.  

My problem was eliminated when I setup a small network between my 
computers and just connected the printer to one computer and used it 
as a shared printer.  I did find out that QTR doesn't like firewire 
connections with Mac computers.

Best regards,
