I want to print using CUPS while keeping SELinux enabled. (Linux)
- Backup the "/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts" file before making any changes to the original file.
- Check "/usr/local/Brother/" folder to find what folders are under it.

-
If your system has "inf", "lpd","cupswrapper" folders under "/usr/local/Brother", add the following 3 lines to the end of the file ( /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts ).
/usr/local/Brother/inf/.* -- system_u:object_r:cupsd_etc_t:s0
/usr/local/Brother/lpd/.* -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/.* -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
-
If your system has "inf", "lpd","cupswrapper" folders under "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/[your printer's name]/", add the following 3 lines to the end of the file ( /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts ).
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/inf/.* -- system_u:object_r:cupsd_etc_t:s0
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/lpd/.* -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/cupswrapper/.* -- system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
The part after the doble hyphen can differ between distributions. Refer the followings to confirm the correct statement for your distribution.
- For "lpd" and "cupswrapper", the part should be the same as the configuration for "/usr/lib(64)/cups/deamon/.*" in the "file_contexts".
- For "inf", the part should be the same as the configuration for "/etc/cups/ppd/.*" in the "file_contexts".
-
If your system has "inf", "lpd","cupswrapper" folders under "/usr/local/Brother", add the following 3 lines to the end of the file ( /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts ).

Run the command "restorecon *" in the following directories:
(For step 3-a.)
/usr/lib/cups/filter
/usr/lib64/cups/filter <===This is necessary only for 64bit OS users
/usr/local/Brother/lpd
/usr/local/Brother/inf
/usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper
(For step 3-b.)
/usr/lib/cups/filter
/usr/lib64/cups/filter <===This is necessary only for 64bit OS users
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/inf
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/lpd
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/(printer name)/cupswrapper
- Restart the PC.
