:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/lpstat.cups from 'write' accesses on the sock_file pkcs11.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that lpstat.cups should be allowed write access on the pkcs11 sock_file by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep lpstat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-05-24 13:52:00 UTC
Any idea why this access is required?

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-05-24 13:56:27 UTC
I have been googling but no answer.

Did you setup CUPS somehow together with PKCS?

Comment 3 Victor Costan 2012-05-27 04:17:59 UTC
I plugged a HP DeskJet 3054 printer (one of the printers that came for free with an Apple computer, if that helps), and followed the automated setup steps. I got this SElinux error when trying to print something from Firefox.

Comment 4 Victor Costan 2012-05-27 04:22:20 UTC
I just realized: I can print from programs that use the Gnome(?) printer dialog (e.g., evince). I get this error when trying to print from a Web site (jetblue.com's online checkin application) that uses Adobe Flash. One more reason to hate Flash, I guess.

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2012-05-28 07:49:56 UTC
Did it work?

Comment 6 Victor Costan 2012-05-29 06:28:45 UTC
@Miroslav: Nope.

In the end, I got my boarding pass to print by installing cups-pdf, using the PDF printer from Flash, and then printing the PDF with evince. I guess Flash is doing something dumb.

When I did the PDF printing, the policy in this bug was already added.

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2012-06-07 16:16:22 UTC
Looks like this could be a duplicate of bug #808933?

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 16:28:15 UTC
That links says he was executing within mozilla_plugin, this one says it is using lpr?

Comment 9 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 16:29:31 UTC
But I agree they both show it connecting to a pkcs socket.  Does lpr use some kind of authorization to print to certain printers?

Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2012-06-08 14:35:43 UTC
I think this happens from libp11-kit via gnutls.
