Roy,
You are a Godsend.
It worked.
But the command for some reason had to be InstallP5300=P900.command. For some reason this printer only shows as a P5300. Then I cut and pasted all the quads into the P5300 file folder,
too, and they showed up fine.
The P 5370 is SO sensitive. You have to go through a lot of machinations to make it recognize sheet feed and not cassette or manual. AND position the OHP perfectly so the driver head sees
it. Also to push the OHP quite far down in place, do all the selections of paper type, size, etc. in the
printer control panel itself, before pressing Print in Print Tool. Otherwise, errors abound.
I also had the usual problem of the top inch of the negative print low density so I assume a workaround is no more than 9 inch image, image 1 inch away from edge, or go so far as to cut
and paste part of the image for an inch at the leading edge as some have done (that will be beyond students).
I will be making step by steps to laminate so students will not run into the myriad picky issues this printer displays, but if we can print negs with no pizza wheels I have died and gone
to heaven. We’ve kept the two P900s as backup in the lab for busy images that pizza wheels will get lost in, and just have the one P5370. I mean, it’s a BEAST in cost and size, really not a consumer model by any means.
?
Question is I wonder if it really makes a dif using 1440 super, or 2880, or 2880 super? I’m trying 1440 super to see if it’s adequate with some negs I printed.
?
I also will report back if the P900 profiles are perfectly fine or need major tweaking. So far the negatives I’ve printed for new cyanotype and palladium
look as I would expect but that doesn’t prove anything until I print prints.

Just rename script to InstallP5370=P900.command
This will find P5370 printer but use P900 driver.?

We’ve switched to the Epson P5370 at work due to the P900s having such severe pizza wheel issues as to make both printers unusable for all but the busiest of images..
No luck being able to install QTR for the P5370.
Op sys attached.
Error message attached.
I’ve named it P5000, P5300 series, P5370, none work.
I’ve re-installed QTR 3x.
I’ve turned on and off printer.
I’ve made sure all permissions are read/write on the folders from Library to quadtone to quads.
Any ideas?
Someone on this list had no problem using P900 profiles on this printer, either, and I do notice the inks are the same except VLM is LM and VM is M…hope that is not an issue.
