I could not print after an upgrade to Kubuntu Hardy. I DID have the gs binary in /usr/bin, and was able to fix the problem using the solution at island linux: http://islandlinux.org/howto/upgrading-ubuntu-breaks- printer-cupsys
My dmesg output looked like this: [ 806.888916] audit(1209429752.862:4): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" [ 812.035287] audit(1209429758.009:5): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" [ 882.047534] audit(1209429828.034:6): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" [ 903.291457] audit(1209429849.281:7): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" [ 936.094182] audit(1209429882.089:8): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" [ 938.615397] audit(1209429884.614:9): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="Ux::" denied_mask="Ux::" name="/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" pid=6151 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" My CUPS error_log looked like this: E [28/Apr/2008:18:05:19 -0700] Unable to execute /usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn: Permission denied E [28/Apr/2008:18:05:19 -0700] [Job 654] Unable to start filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" - Permission denied.
