I also found the CUPS 1.4.5 fix to at first work and later on stop working.

I finally was able to trace through CUPS and figure out where the
problem arises.
Its a weird combination of the exact order things are done.  I'm not
about to fix
the OS but it turns out there's a simple way for QTR to just rearrange some data
and the problem goes away.   So I've made a new download 2.7.1 specifically
for this issue on Macs.  See:   http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRdownload.html
Its just a matter of installing this new version and if you've done a
lot of messing
around with the Quad printers I'd suggest Deleting and Re-creating them with the
printer/profile install scripts.

Thanks to Walker for narrowing this down to cups in the new OSX.   If
you are one of the people
to go through Walker's CUPS fix, and you also happen to have old
PowerPC programs on your
machine, and they access printer info, there's a potential for a
program crash because of a missing
powerpc library.   Let me know if this happens.

I'm pretty sure this fix will solve the custom sizes but let me know
if you have any trouble.

Regards,
Roy

I went to the download page and don't see a 2.7.1 just 2.7.0.  Am I missing something?  is it somewhere else?  Or is the page not changed but the software fix applied under the old number.  I'd appreciate some enlightenment.  
Thanks much in advance.

its the circular arrow at the end of url address line.
