Answers Database 1.5i/2.1i: FPGA Editor/FloorPlanner: XPrinter driver files (*.drv) have incorrect permissions on HP-UX 10.2 Record #6702 Product Family: Software Product Line: Merged Core Product Part: Floorplanner Product Version: 2.1i Problem Title: 1.5i/2.1i: FPGA Editor/FloorPlanner: XPrinter driver files (*.drv) have incorrect permissions on HP-UX 10.2 Problem Description: Urgency: Standard General Description: The XPrinter driver files (which come from the WindU subsystem) have read-only permission for all. This causes the XPrinter dialog box to never appear on the HP platform. This affects the dialog boxes which are launched by the File -> Print Setup... menu items on the FPGA Editor and Floorplanner. OR When trying to print or setup the printer either nothing will happen or a the Floorplanner will core dump. Solution 1: The XPrinter driver files should have read and execute permissions for all. The permissions are also wrong on Solaris, but it does not appear to cause a problem on that platform. A workaround is to change the permissions of these files to read and execute for all with the chmod command. The HP files are: $XILINX/bin/hp/PCL4_41.drv, $XILINX/bin/hp/PCL5_41.drv, and $XILINX/bin/hp/Postscript_41.drv. An Example:   chmod 555 filename or   chmod 555 $XILINX/bin/hp/PCL4_41.drv This will be fixed in a future release of the software. Solution 2: Use xviewgrab (or similar application) to grab the image on the screen. End of Record #6702 - Last Modified: 09/22/99 07:22
