I haven't been able to print from Lightroom (Mac) using QTR-Create  
icc profiles (RGB).  Crashes when trying to use these icc profiles.   
Only way so far is to print to QTR without color management (use  
printer management option).  I think Roy was investigating this  
problem and he may have more to say about this problem.
