Description of problem: Avc denial for hplip_t Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setroubleshoot 2.0.8 hplip 2.8.10, device manager software version 15.0 How reproducible: can be reproduced at will Steps to Reproduce: 1. Print document 2. 3. [root@localhost bkochis]# /sbin/restorecon -v './dbus' /sbin/restorecon: stat error on ./dbus: No such file or directory Additional info: uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu Nov 13 20:52:14 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Summary: SELinux is preventing hp (hplip_t) "search" to ./dbus (system_dbusd_var_run_t). Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] SELinux denied access requested by hp. It is not expected that this access is required by hp and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./dbus, restorecon -v './dbus' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

I got the same problem with hplip3.9.6b
