QTR-Quadtone RIP

there seems to be a lot of confusion with this lately.  You really  
wont ever see QTR anywhere on the mac.  It exists as a virtual  
printer that you access via other applications, ie Photoshop.  I  
thought this was fairly clear in the manual when I first installed  
it.  Also, note that you have two things to install, QTR itself and  
your particular profiles.  And yes the printer does have to be  
connected for this to work.  Hope this helps.
