QTR-Quadtone RIP

I had 2.2a working fine with CS on a mac.  Downloaded 2.2c, installed
it and 
installed the profiles.  I want to use it with CS2.  I couldn't find
a Quad printer 
listed in printer set up or in System Prefs, nor profiles in CS2.  Is
this all 
supposed to instal automatically, or do I have to do something other
than click 
instal?

Thanks,

peter

Peter, inside your new QTR folder there should be a folder named "Profiles."  Inside the 
Profiles folder you'll see many more folders, each for a different printer/inkset 
combination.  Inside the folder that has the name of your printer and inkset there is 
another Installer.  Double-clicking on that installer will install the QTR printer.

Hope this helps,
Ed

Thanks for your reply, Ed.  I have followed those steps already. 
Shouldn't I 
then see a quad printer listed in the System Prefs, the Printer
Setup Utility or the Print with Preview?  Perhaps I have screwed up.  I didn't 
have any trouble last
time I 
installed, or the time before that, when I had to instal the printer
manually.

You should definitely see it in the printer setup utility and also in the print dialog.  BTW, 
there is a more recent version than 2.2c, version 2.3 beta.  There's a link in the upper right 
hand corner.  It's in the upper right hand corner of the download page and a bit hard to 
notice if you're not looking for it.

Thanks, Ed.

OK.  I uninstalled and then reinstalled 2.2c and now I see the printer and 
profiles are installed where they should be.  I don't know what I did wrong the 
first time, but, oh well...  I didn't instal the 2.3 because I saw a couple of posts 
reporting glitches.  

I'm now not understanding the simple workflow for UC ink and the 2200 in 
CS2.  In the Color Settings, I've set my colour space to Adobe RGB and Gray 
to Gray Gamma 2.2.  Do I now have to convert the document profile to a 
Quad Grey space like Working Gray-Gray Gamma 2.2?

I'm a little confused because the QTR instructions show the dialog for CS not 
CS2.  So in my Print dialog under Color Management, the document profile is 
Adobe RGB.  Should I set Color Handling to "Let Photoshop Determine 
Colors", and what should Printer Profile be set to?  I know I should have 
Relative Colorimetric and Black Point Compensation.

There is also an instruction concerning centred images.  I only see the one 
paper size -- no fly out for the centred option.  Is this stale info?

And, one last point, are the settings in Printer Features relevant?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
