QTR-Quadtone RIP

Well I fooled with this for about six eight hours ...  and I have only
managed to give myself a few more gray hairs  ..  in the end I have
pushed things along .. to a new place but I am still unable to make it
work.

Where I am now is I used rendezvous to add a printer to the printer
list in the printer set up utility.  When I print with this set up it
is able to find the printer and  make a print, however I am unable to
get the curve profiles to work. When I run the Profile install script
from the QTR download to get the profiles it creates a Quad4800 in the
print list.

The Quad4800 has the curves ...  but can not find the printer when I
try to print with it.
The rendezvous setup has no curves but can print.

I spent hours trying to get this work  ... by installing and
uninstalling with any slight variations I could think of.  Frankly ...
I am a little unsure why I have a rendezvous setup that now works even
without the curves. So I am reluctant to uninstall this.

any suggestions?
