Was hoping someone could help me with these issues - we've got a DPM2340 but it runs off an ancient Win NT RIP (Harlequin RIP 5.3 rev 4a). I had the bright idea of trying to install the software onto a newer machine in order to network it but it's given me no-end of problems!
After literally a week of fighting with the thing I've managed to get it outputting plates from the new XP based RIP but I've still got minor problems. First thing's first, device manager on the XP RIP lists about 7 entries for SCSI printer - neither the 'general printer' driver, driver off my CD or the driver off the presstek website works for these. But I don't know if they're even needed, seeing as it's outputting.
The software version from the CDs (5.1) is also older than one that was running on NT4 (5.3). And I've lost the status manager (with temp etc - the RIPUTSRV.exe file for it won't run). But I have replicated all the settings as near as I could get them. On the NT there was no exposure setting but there is one for the new RIP - the default of 300 was no good, 500 is better so I guess that'll take a little experimenting if there's no 'set' value. Will it be possible to get an update for the harlequin (can't find anything on presstek's site)?
