Qtr driver settings disappeared

Qtr driver settings disappeared

2017-04-02 by petware@...

Hi folks,

All of a sudden my qtr driver isn't available in the print tool dialog box or the Photoshop print dialog box. Is there an expiration date for the shareware? Do I need to enter a code or something? I see no code on the PayPal receipt to use. I'm on a Mac if that matters. Thanks for any help!

Erik

Just try a simple reinstall first.

Hi Erik,
What is missing, the printer (QuadXXXX) or the driver (QuadToneRIP)?
Can you see the printer in the left panel of "System Preferences > Printers & Scanners" with a green dot under the printer's name?

Hi Jose and Mark. I think the issue might be fixed? I had to delete all of the qtr stuff and reinstall it. This worked with the profiles that came with the QTR install but when I would try to copy and paste all of my custom profiles to the P600 profile folder and then run the install script
it would not work again. The printer would show up as Quad600 but it would not let me get into the part of the dialog box where you actually select the curve you want to use for the print. My solution after much trial and error and freaking out that I would have to redo all the curves
I made was to add back each profile I wrote one at a time and then run the install script after each one was added. So far so good, but I still don't know why I had the problem to begin with?

Hi Erik,

Do any of your custom profile names have more than ~40 characters? I think this happened to me once and if I remember right the problem was due to a name that was too long. I edited it from 42 characters to 39 and the problem was solved, which suggests the limit is somewhere between 39 and 41.

Cheers,
Keith

Yes Keith, I had one that was 46 letters long. It was part of the group I tried to reinstall with a copy and paste all at once. I haven't tried to add it back yet. I wonder if that caused my problems? In any case, now that it seems to be working I don't want to try to install that one unless I shorten the name!

Regards,
Erik

Hi Eric,
Did you ever solve this problem? I have the same problem and can't seem to figure it out.

Steven

Hi Steven I did fix it but I'm not sure what actually fixed it. I reinstalled each profile one by one and ran the install script after each time added a profile. Also, as Keith suggest make sure you don't have any profiles with names that are longer than 38 characters. 
Good luck, I know it's frustrating to figure out. 

Regards,
Erik
