[QUOTE="louishen, post: 702956, member: 40142"] Right I see The printer you have is the stylus color 1290, but the rip software you have for it is OS 9 only Your best bet is not to continue to struggle with getting an old oS 9 RIP to work with that printer, there is another RIP you can use. Simply put, either use acrobat professional or Tigers built in PDF ripper (the preview button in all OS X print dialogues) to create a hires PDF file You can then print from this file direct to the printer I know this is not a RIP in the classic sense, but print ready PDF files are doing the same job as a classic RIP from the old days Even professional litho print houses now use PDF workflow, so it doesn't matter if you send them Quark, postscript, Indesign or whatever files, your job will be converted to PDF and sent to the press. Acrobat is an excellent software RIP and will ensure that you no longer need that old OS 9 software [/QUOTE]
