The troubleshooters recommended fix is a restorecon -v './lp3'
The only ./lp3 I could find was in /etc/cups.d/interfaces/lp3, and while it
did change the context of the file, it does not fix the problem. This
particular driver ppd is the lpr and cupswrapper of the HL2140 driver kit
from Brother, and apparently is installed in a /usr/local/Brother subdir by
their rpms.
All this did work flawlessly before I had a drive failure, and it worked after
an Fu8 install, but failed sometime in the nearly 2 weeks uptime, as did all
my other printer profiles, which I have now deleted and rebuilt, and work
except for this one.
I am going to try touching /.autorelabel and reboot again see if that helps.
However, nothing happened the last time I tried that 2 weeks ago...
