I noticed some SELinux error messages in my security log so I disabled SELinux. At that point I was able to run "hp-makeuri xxx:yyy" where xxx:yyy is the USB bus id and device id of my Officejet. I then deleted and re-installed the printer using "/usr/bin/printconf-gui" Everything (printing/scanning/faxing) works as advertised now. When I re-enable SELinux, the "hp-toolbox" command no longer can find the Officejet and I can't print/fax/scan. If I disable SELinux then everything starts working again. So I am now stuck running without SELinux enabled. Any thoughts on how how to fix this particular SELinux issue? Charlie
