QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm on a mac running 10.4.8. QTR spools to my 2200 begins to print and
then just shoots the paper out. Print Center says the job was
completed but nothing prints. I've uninstalled, reinstalled but
nothing seems to help. I'm printing out of CS3 so then I tried CS but
same thing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try turning the printer and computer off for 5 or 10 minutes then turn on the printer then the computer and see if that clears it up.

Thank you, that did the trick. Not the first time but then I unplugged
the printer also from the wall and waited and all is well. Thank  you
so much.

Well, it worked once but now it is doing the same thing as before.

...also, when you've shut it down, unplug it and leave it that way for 
10 minutes or so. 2200 seems to me to behave a LOT like old Win 98 
machines, memorywise.
That may just be superstition. The point is to let it clear it's foolish 
little head. If I were you, I'd also put some trash paper into it, 
anticipating that it wants to print when you boot it back up.

I don't know of any way to clear the printer's own memory without 
letting it waste ink but perhaps letting it sit UNPLUGGED longer than an 
hour or three would let it lose some sort of volatile memory.

There, that sounds almost like this is real science doesn't it? No?

Sounds like a plan, I'll try that. It's never had this problem before
but I guess there is a first for everything. I on the other hand have
a really hard time knowing where to respond on this type of message. I
want to write at the top and I think I'm supposed to respond at the
bottom. Oh well, I'm trying - is the point. Thank you.

I've seen some 2200s start to have more problems feeding heavy paper as they
age and wear.  You might try some cheap paper to see if that feeds correctly.
If so you may need to manually load the heavier paper.

So, you think it is more of a feed problem than the actual driver. It
actually feeds and starts to print 2 passes, than thinks it has
completed the job and shoots the paper out. I have no feed problems
when using the standard driver.

Well, I'm just guessing possible issues.  If it actually tries to
print a couple of
passes then I guess feed issue is less likely.

Another issue -- do you have both firewire and USB plugged in at the same time?
Both plugged in gives unpredictable results.

No, I only have it plugged in USB.
