Just to clarify: CUPS in Fedora Core 5 works fine with the supplied
drivers.  The problem you have run into, and supplied a link to an FAQ
for, is that you have installed a 3rd party (Brother) driver which for
some reason has not taken account of SELinux in its installation script.

In general, if a 3rd party driver adds files to existing CUPS
directories there should be nothing further to do; but in this case the
Brother driver uses /usr/local directories.
