Digital BW, The Print

Roy: thanks for your response.  One additional question: I should download 
and install the QTR program and THEN double click the installers for the 
7600/9600 that I just downloaded separately from your site?  Or should I first 
double click and install the programs located in the 7600/9600 downloads?  
In other words,  you said "There are separate install scripts for the 7600 and 
the 9600, they setup the printer, create profiles and install them all with a 
double-click."  Does that mean the only thing I need to do is doubleclick the 
install scripts in the profiles folder I just downloaded, or is installing the QTR 
program itself a separate step?  (and if so, what order do I do it in?)
