You can use QTR on an ethernet in several ways.

If the printer or print server has a fixed IP address you can just enter the
IP number during the install script.  However many setups have dynamically
set IP addresses -- i.e. they are assigned and may be different later.
There's a setup called Bonjour that can handle this automatically.  Most
of the newer Epson printers do support this although you may need to
enable it on the printer front panel.  If you can "see" the bonjour printer
in the OSX Print&Fax dialog it's very easy to use it for QTR.  See the
last page of the Tutorial.pdf for more details on this.

My office is very small ... so if at all possible I would like to use ethernet to get to my printers in the next room.  When I tried to use QTR I found no Ethernet option.  And have since noted it is set up for USB.  Is it possible to use ethernet??

I updated everything for this project. My old mac died and my old photoshop was the first CS.

>> Hello Michael, QTR can only be used as a USB printer, no firewire or ethernet.  I'm still on CS3 so can't answer the CS4/10.5 question although it seems to be well documented and with solutions.  Have you searched or asked here:
