QTR-Quadtone RIP

All the guidance seems to be that tiff files are needed to print with the RIP. To begin with I 
followed this rule carefully, but then I found it seems to print perfectly well from Lightroom 
using the original dng file. Am I missing something? Is there a penalty?

John,
I print routinely from Photoshop without saving the files. This is on a Mac running Leopard.
The Photoshop dialog box offers me the QTR printer as an option. Even if I forget to select it 
there, it is still available as an option when I go to the Leopard print dialog box.

It may be that in the windows environment, using QTR as a stand along printing application 
it needs TIFF files.

The Mac version prints from any program so the format is not important.
The PC version on the other hand has a special print program QTRgui that
takes tiff files.
