QTR-Quadtone RIP

I found that I can print from Lightroom 1.0 to QTR (Mac), but only if  
the printer color management option is selected.  Lightroom will  
crash if you try to use a QTR Create-icc profile (either RGB or  
grayscale).  So if your linearization is good you can get decent  
prints, but would be nice to have the ability to use an icc profile  
up front (would have to be RGB because grayscale mode is not  
supported in Lightroom).
