Hi,
I installed the CUPS printer drivers for my MFC-9840CDW on my F8
system and followed the instructions from
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/linux_faq-2.html#30
to update the SElinux rules.
Printing itself works fine, but the page size is not correct. I need
A4, but all prints come out as Letter altough A4 is set in the printer
config tool. Now, whenever I print something I get a SElinux warning:
SELinux is preventing brprintconf_mfc (cupsd_t) "write" to ./inf (usr_t).
I had a look at the files under
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9840cdw/inf/ and they all contain the
wrong "Letter" setting. I suspect that the printer drivers want to
change the settings in these files to "A4", but fails due to the
SElinux issue.
What rule do I have to put where to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Bernd

Bernd, I second Tim's suggestion that you should contact Brother.
Some time
back I fed some info back to them and they did appreciate it.
Anne, I already tried to contact Brother twice using their web support
formular, but never got an answer back. Do you knowa specific person
that I should contact?
Best regards,
Bernd.

If I may append here, my one experience with brothers support was handled
quickly and worked. The messages came from:
ML_SOLUTION-LINUX(a)mta.notes.brother.co.jp
And were apparently replied to by a real human.
Yep - we had a friendly exchange that was very definitely human :-)

It was January 2007, so there's no guarantee that it's the same, but the

Dan below you'll find the setup that works for me now. The RPMS from
Brother's web site setup two printer drivers
1. the fax printer driver which seems to be located directly under
/usr/local/Brother/...
2. the real printer driver which seems to be located under
/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9840cdw/...
The part mfc9840cdw will probably change depending on the actual
printer that has been configured.

Bernd, I second Tim's suggestion that you should contact Brother. Some time

I will change the default labeling.
/usr/local/Brother/inf(/.*)?
gen_context(system_u:object_r:cupsd_rw_etc_t,s0)
Is the current labeling.
Is there a directory before inf?

Thanks Tim! That did the trick. Altough the files in the inf/

Looks like you need something along the lines of:
chcon -t cupsd_etc_t /usr/local/Brother/Printer/*/inf
(if that works, you might want to mention that to Brother so they can
