Rip Software

I am having major problems trying to figure out all this software. I am trying to print negartives (seperations), I am using Windows XP like I was told to do, I am using fast rip 8.0, and and Epson 3000 printer. I can not get anything to work right! Can someone please help me to get my settings and software set right so that I can print these negatives for my screenprinting, or you could come and watch me throw it out the back door! lol

Thanks So Much!

do not trow that epson please, i am one of these that would love take it away :)
was kidding..
so now seriously, I am gonna start doing that same work - the filmotput after colour separation.
I realy nead a model of an Epson Stylus (the very proper one) and i do need to know what follows after that. Have read that Epson 3000 is just very suitable.
RIP matter will have to be learned by me little later in future anyway.
Hope some other people can let you know how you can turn this fast rip into real working
Would be very interested for me too.
