[cups.general] at wits end here with a brother laser HL2140 printer.

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I had my boot disk commit suicide a month ago.  I had this printer working 
flawlessly for about 6 months prior to that, using brothers own .ppd for an 
HL-2070N which the recommended at the time.

Due to the drive failure, I reinstalled from the August 2008 respin of Fedora 
8 and then installed amanda and recovered my personal stuff as I had good 
backups. 

They (brother) now have a linux driver for this printer, and I have tried it 
and the older one both, but cups is being denied access to set it up 
originally by selinux.  That is now set to permissive but I still can't get a 
test page.  I've set cupsd.conf's error verbosity as high as debug2 without 
seeing any real clues as to whats failing other than this in the error_log 
when I attempt to commit with the 'modify printer' button: (as root)

The location admin section of cupsd.conf:

# You definitely will want to limit access to the administration functions.
# The default configuration requires a local connection from a user who

Does anyone have a clue to show me?  Please..

Thanks.
