Install fails for custom QTR curve

Install fails for custom QTR curve

2016-12-27 by dkosiur@...

I created a custom QTR curve descriptor for a paper on my Mac, running QTR 2.7.7 and OS X 10.12.2 by modifying the ink limits in a copy of one of the UCpk-raw text files. But after I inserted that into the Profiles>PC800-UC folder and ran the InstallP800.command script in that same folder, the install completed except for the new file; I got the following message:


Couldn't open /Library/Printers/QTR/quadtone/QuadP800/UCpk-UltraProSatin-neut.quad for writing: Permission denied


I haven't changed any permissions in the Library folder, so I'm puzzled what went wrong. Any tips on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Dave

I'm not sure how the permissions got off but the newer OSX's do have stricter
methods than before.

The fix is easy. Just re-install the InstallQTR-2.7.7.pkg -- as part of the install
it corrects any permission issue. Then you should be able to do the InstallP800
again.
