A/UX: Using Claris MacWrite II (9/94)


Printing from MacWrite II under A/UX doesn't work. Nothing comes out of the printer. Printing from lpr works as does printing from other Macintosh Toolbox applications.

Like other Claris products, MacWrite II puts temporary files in a Claris folder located in the System Folder. This folder is created the first time a Claris product runs. If the user happens to be root at the time the application is run, the default user mask sets the privileges on the folder, so that only root has read and execute privileges on the folder.

Change the permissions on the folder to allow read, write, and execute privileges for everyone, and printing should work fine.
