Much as I like my old mac g4 dual processor it is becoming relatively slow with pshop and qtr. I downloaded qtr for my xp 64 box and installed it with without problem so far as I can see. Now in printing to my 2200 with a firewire connection I get nothing but lines, no image. I tried printing in the debug mode. Three screens came up but they were blank. Have I missed something I need to install with qtr when using xp 64? or ??? Roger

Roger, Unfortunately with WinXP 64, you need 64-bit print drivers. That's been one of my reservations about switching on dual-core Athlon. My 7000 with Cone inks would be inoperable, as you've seen. You need to find WinXP 64 drivers from Epson for the 2200 and see if that works. Nemo --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Roger Sopher" <rlsopher@...> wrote:

>>You need to find WinXP 64 drivers from Epson for the 2200 and see if that works.<< In case others haven't looked at the Epson site lately, Epson is releasing 64 bit drivers for their scanners and printers. I have seen listings on their site for the 2200 and 2400. At the same time, I have no idea how well they work ;) Doug --- Doug's "MF Film Holder" for batch scanning "strips" of 120/220 medium format film: http://home.earthlink.net/~dougfisher/holder/mainintro.html

I had a report from someone else that they were using QTR on a 64-bit system. QTR does not need to be 64-bit but it does use the low edit of the Epson print drivers for the spooling and hardware connection. I'm not sure which printer they were using though. I doubt the 7000 will be updated since it's so old. As an alternative idea maybe you can use the old machine as a print server and the 64-bit machine for editing.

I have the XP 64 driver for the 2200 from the Epson site installed and it functions without any perceived problems. 64 bit drivers are starting to surface fairly regularly. QTR on the other hand just produces dither, of the correct size but without a semblance of an image. In debug mode the three appropriate windows open but remain blank and show no activity during the printing process. I deleted and reinstalled QTR and it made no difference -- still didn't work. I guess my question is will/does QTR function under WINXP Pro 64? Roger _____

Roger, What do you mean by "produces dither"? Does it print something? Do you end up with a .log file in the QuadToneRIP folder? If so, show us that maybe it'll have a clue. The only XP64 info I know is that someone else asked me if it would work. So I had them try it and they reported that it was just fine.

The only XP64 info I know is that someone else asked me if it would work. So I had them try it and they reported that it was just fine. Roy Hi Roy, It prints a series of lines varing in width and gray tones down the page but no image. The size on the page is correct. There is a log file which I'll send to you if you will give me an address out of yahoo to send it to. The problem might be that I produced the tiff files on a mac and then moved them to the pc for printing. The mac prints them without problem but the pc seems to gag for some reason. Could be the tiff compression from the mac isn't readible on the pc. I have a copy of photoshop cs2 coming that I will put up on the wn xp 64 box and process an image from scratch and see if the problem still exists. The 64 bit Epson driver doesn't seem to be a major factor since, if I understand it correctly, QTR prints via gimp print. The Win XP 64 box is quick as a cat and would be a nice platform but I am not at all adverse to picking up a new Mac if there is a problem with the Win XP 64 OS. I started out using an old mac as a print engine and loved OS X and picked up a more capable box that could do it all but it is getting pretty long in the tooth.

Roger, sorry to jump in here late but your exactly right about the TIFF compression! Do one of two things to try this theory out. 1. Save the TIFF un-compressed. 2. In the Mac you can choose PC compression, try that one. See if either print. The Mac has always had an easier time reading PC files but not the other way around! Alan

Ok, I think I've got the issue. The ZIP compression is not supported, but the LZW compression is supported. There isn't a 64-bit issue with this. It makes no difference whether you save on a Mac or PC nor whether you select Mac or PC byte order. (BTW, new intel macs have PC order). Also if it's an RGB file, Pixel Order should be "interleaved".

Question answered with more experimentation - QTR works just fine in Win XP64. The problem I was having was in some tif files that were produced in a mac. The pc version of qtr can't read mac tif files saved with zip compression. Roger _____
