I've got two separate issues, one has to do with this thread. Just after installing F11 everything seemed fine. I poked the necessary holes in my firewall and shared my printer queues and my wife could print from her F10 laptop. Now it seems just about every job gets "stuck" and I see the AVC denials about python. Here's the details for mine (just in case anything is different: --- Summary: SELinux is preventing python (hplip_t) "read" security_t. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.] SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this access is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (<a href="http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385">http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385</a>) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (<a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi">http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi</a>) against this package.
